Brainwave Drinks
Case Study
Background
Brainwave Drinks Ltd’s business is innovative, healthy functional drinks. They created, developed and launched in the UK the Brainwave range of drinks, which are unique – helping maintain brain health and cognitive performance. Similarly, their ProWater range of drinks – high protein, low calorie, great tasting and refreshing (not chalky). The protein is fully soluble – again unique in their markets.
DataFox approached them towards the end of last year and met with them to discuss making an R&D tax credit claim on their behalf. The two directors, Richard Baister and Nik Hristic, had invested a significant amount of money in developing the products – functionality, ingredients, taste, mouth feel and branding, etc. DataFox was confident that it could get back a cash payment from HMRC for some of the expenditure.
R&D Tax Relief – Substantial Cash Payment
Brainwave Drinks had not yet made a profit and DataFox informed them that they could get a cash back payment of 33.35% from HMRC on the qualifying R&D spend. This was potentially great news for them and a welcome boost to cash-flow.

We take on the risk and don’t charge you in the event that your claim is declined. Brainwave Drinks could understand why we have had 100% success on all claims handled to date!
