This episode offers listeners a deep dive into what qualifies as R&D, how changes in regulation affect companies, and the practical aspects of implementing R&D projects within the tax system.

  In this episode of the Ultimate FD Podcast, I explore the art and science behind building a business that's primed for sale while offering sustainable enjoyment to its owners. By focusing on finance-driven strategies, I reveal how entrepreneurs can avoid the common pitfall of creating a job rather than a sellable business.
