Our customers say…
VISIATIV delivered exactly what they said they’d deliver. They did the vast majority of the work for us, preparing and submitting a comprehensive R&D tax credits claim with very little in the way of time commitment from us. And at the end of it, we got a lovely big cheque from HMRC. We’re doing a lot of cutting edge stuff here at Navmii and now getting the money back for it, which is as it should be
