Hi, I’m Chris Stanton, based on the Gold Coast.
After 20+ years in business and a background in Industrial Design, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for Australian companies to continue investing in innovation and development.
Whether you’re developing a new product, software, AI, technology, process, system or material…many businesses face similar challenges when it comes to R&D:
One of the biggest gaps I’ve seen is that many Australian businesses are simply unaware of how the R&D Tax Incentive works or whether it may apply to them.
It’s estimated that many eligible businesses do not access the program each year.
That’s why in 2021 we created Grant Buddy - to help simplify the process and connect businesses with experienced R&D specialists.
Our platform helps match you with a consultant based on your industry and development activities.
Our goal is to help Australian businesses better understand the R&D Tax Incentive and explore whether it may be relevant to them.
Happy Innovating 😊
The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is an Australian Government program designed to support businesses investing in innovation and development. It provides tax offsets for eligible R&D activities, helping businesses continue to develop new products, improve processes, and stay competitive.
Depending on your company structure and financial position, eligible businesses may be able to access tax offsets for qualifying R&D expenditure. This can help reduce the overall cost of development activities and support ongoing innovation. Eligibility and outcomes vary depending on your business activities, structure, and circumstances.
For many Australian businesses, the R&D Tax Incentive can make it more viable to invest in new ideas, technologies, and improvements. However, understanding whether your activities qualify - and how the process works - can often be complex.
That’s where we help - by simplifying the process and connecting you with experienced R&D specialists.
