From the administrators' statement
Creditors should note that, unless otherwise stated, this section of the proposals has been prepared based on information provided by the Board of Directors ("the Board") of the Company and not from my personal knowledge as Administrator.
The Company was incorporated on 22 July 2020 under Company Registration Number 12760789 and its registered office at 5 Clover Drive, Salford, M7 1RF. The registered office changed several times due to relocation of offices and most recent was at 10 Exchange Quay, Salford, M5 3EQ. Mr Samuel Dallow and Mr Gary Hilton were appointed as Directors from the date of incorporation and remain directors together with Mr Robin Yeung who was appointed as Director on 17 November 2022. Trading as a specialist tax and funding consultancy based in Manchester, the Company operated nationally across the United Kingdom with a core offering of pursuing claims for Research & Development Tax Credits and aimed to guide businesses through HMRC’s Research & Development incentive scheme. They prepared technical reports and detailed financial submissions on behalf of their clients, helping them to secure tax refunds or reductions through Research & Development claims.
According to the Directors, Counting King Limited supported over a thousand clients in Research & Development related claims, resulting in more than £40 million in reliefs granted to those businesses.
