A new strategic partnership with RDA, the UK's leading specialist in Research & Development tax credit claims, will support BAC's continued investment in automotive innovation. The three-year agreement positions RDA as BAC's exclusive R&D tax partner, ensuring the brand maximises returns on its substantial engineering development investment.
At the heart of every Mono lies thousands of hours of intensive research and development. From pioneering carbon fibre material science to developing digital twin technologies and shaping automotive innovation around the art of driving, BAC's relentless pursuit of performance demands continuous innovation.
With each component engineered to deliver uncompromising capability, BAC's commitment to R&D is embedded in the company's core ethos. The partnership with RDA reflects BAC's strategic approach to sustainable growth, ensuring the brand maximises returns on its substantial innovation investment. BAC's partner portfolio is curated to include only those who are uncompromising in their approach and leaders in their respective fields. RDA is no exception.
Pioneering digital engineering tools accelerate BAC's innovation capability across materials, aerodynamics, and structural development.
BAC's uncompromising approach to lightweighting drives continuous innovation in materials and manufacturing processes.
Just as BAC questions conventional automotive thinking to achieve breakthrough performance, RDA challenges traditional approaches to R&D tax advisory. Their focus extends beyond compliance to acceleration, ensuring innovation investment delivers maximum commercial impact. Whether it's advanced computational fluid dynamics modelling, materials testing, or prototype development, RDA's expertise ensures every eligible activity translates into reinvestment capability.
Beyond R&D tax recovery, RDA's IP advisory services ensure BAC's innovations, from proprietary materials formulations to advanced digital engineering processes, are strategically protected and commercialised. In a business where every breakthrough represents valuable intellectual property, safeguarding competitive advantage is as critical as funding the next development phase.
Luke Ryan, Head of Finance and Operations at BAC, commented: "Innovation at BAC's level requires significant investment, and maximising the return on that investment is crucial to our continued development. RDA's approach aligns with our philosophy — they're not interested in simply processing claims, they're focused on accelerating our capacity to innovate. That mindset, combined with their proven expertise, made this partnership a natural fit.”
Kevin Auchoybur, Founder of RDA, added: "Companies like BAC don't compromise, and neither do we. The engineering that goes into every Mono is extraordinary, from advanced materials research to pioneering digital tools. Our job is making sure that level of commitment gets properly rewarded, so the next phase of development can happen without constraint. When you're operating at this level, every resource counts.”
This strategic alliance exemplifies BAC's commitment to operational excellence at every level, ensuring the resources required to push boundaries are maximised, enabling BAC to continue redefining what's possible.
RDA strengthens the economy by helping clients unlock the full value of their innovation through a unique, advisory-led approach.
