Looking for beta testers from this community — particularly anyone who earned £50k+ as an employee recently
Hi!
I'm Peet, founder of TEKKA Finance (Companies House 17109250), and I'm looking for a few beta testers :)
Quick version of what we do: if you were a higher-rate taxpayer (£50k+) on a workplace pension at any point in the last 4 tax years, there's a good chance you're owed pension tax relief you never claimed. Most "relief at source" schemes only add the basic 20% automatically — the extra 20% that higher-rate earners are owed isn't automatic, and if you never filed Self Assessment you almost certainly never claimed it. It averages around £1,756 a year, backdatable four years.
Why I'm posting here: as a founder you're probably not eligible on today's income (those pesky VCs asking us to keep our salaries low!) — but a lot of us were engineers, PMs, or other salaried employees before you started up, and that window is exactly what's claimable. The relief from a job you left two years ago is still sitting there.
How it works: we check your scheme qualifies, calculate what you're owed, and prepare the claim. You sign and submit it yourself, and the repayment goes straight from HMRC to you — we never handle your money. Our fee: 10% of whatever you recover, nothing if you recover nothing, no upfront cost. Our first alpha testers are already seeing the money turn up in their accounts :)
What I'd like from a beta tester: ~30 minutes to run the process and tell me where it's confusing or doesn't earn your trust. I'd rather you tell me what's broken than be polite.
You're likely a fit if you were employed (PAYE) on £50k+ in the last 4 years, paying into a workplace or personal pension (Nest, Aviva, Scottish Widows, L&G and similar), and never claimed higher-rate relief. Not sure which scheme you were on? Checking that is part of the job.

I'm a former CTO and chief architect from the financial sector, and have just finished doing a few years as a VC. I've been working on TEKKA since March, we got our first clients in 3 weeks and our first revenue after 3 months.
Happy to chat on here about how I built my system and how I'm going to market.
Cheers!
