The R&D Tax Incentive is one of the major funding sources for startups and fast-growing businesses in Australia. It’s available annually, doesn’t dilute your equity and there’s even the possibility of getting the funds in advance thanks to R&D finance.

What’s not to love? Well, there’s a lot of work involved in applying for it and complying with government regulations. For startups, it’s especially daunting.

That’s why we keep it simple – simple process, simple fees. But we’re not afraid of complex tech and software claims. We’ve done hundreds over the years, plus all sorts of others from foodtech to medtech. Find out more below, including how to contact our resident R&D expert.

the info you have and support you need, but don’t worry – we’ll talk to you about it as soon as we know.
