Benefits of accessing innovation credits.
R&D Tax Credits can be a great source of tax relief for growing companies, especially those that are pre-revenue or between funding rounds, where other types of funding are either unavailable at this stage (like bank loans) or expensive (like venture debt). Having accessed the offset, startups can expedite further R&D activities, bring forward commercialisation plans, support further growth, delay unnecessary financing or equity injections, and satisfy ongoing cash flow requirements.
R&D Tax Credits are a non-dilutive option to manage your cashflow, allowing founders to retain full control and ownership over their business – preserving the ownership of a company for a future occasion when the product is more mature and a better valuation can be achieved.
