At RfM Transform, we believe that with the right support and guidance, small businesses can transform the world!

Our mission is to bridge the expertise gap in SMEs, providing high-level strategic thinking and practical solutions typically accessible to larger corporations with bigger budgets.

That’s why we created the Business+Boosters. A suite of six essential services:

Each Business+Booster is designed to address specific challenges and opportunities for businesses at any stage of their journey.

Growth Strategy

Our Growth Strategy service helps businesses identify opportunities for expansion and develop actionable plans to achieve sustainable growth. We provide insights into market trends, customer behaviour, and competitive analysis to ensure your business is on the right path.

Our director-led HR support provides bespoke human resources solutions, helping businesses manage their workforce effectively. From recruitment and retention to compliance and employee engagement, we ensure your HR practices support your strategic goals. With our Essentials package starting at just £65+VAT per month and no long contracts to commit to, you can get peace of mind, flexibility, and a price that's right for your business.

Our R&D Tax Credit Claims service helps businesses identify eligible research and development activities and claim the tax credits they deserve. We’ve helped clients claim over £3m pounds to date and can help you structure your development activities to maximise relief.

Our H&S services include risk assessments, policy development, training, and ongoing support.
