Need to carry out research and development and want to know if you’re eligible for incentives - Want to know if you qualify for any government grants - Have thought about employing apprentices - Participate in exporting overseas - Would like to avoid borrowing money for your start-up - Wish to generate valuable government funded cashflow for your business ###### STAY ON THE CUTTING EDGE ## Overview Most companies undertake some kind of research and development (R&D) to maintain their competitive edge and continually produce products and services that attract new customers, but did you know that you may be eligible for cash back for research or eligible for other government grants based on business activities? Our advisers can help you identify relevant government grant activities to help you maximise any cash incentives for which you qualify. Experiments don’t always turn out the way we expect, but your efforts at innovation may still be rewarded in other ways. ##### Start a conversation [![Talk to us](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/512115/4da23465-1977-42ac-a7d9-fe06c821ace1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/512115/4da23465-1977-42ac-a7d9-fe06c821ace1) R ![Goverment Grants](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Goverment%20Grants.jpg?width=789&name=Goverment%20Grants.jpg "Goverment Grants") ###### RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNMENT GRANTS ![R&D Tax Incentive](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/hubfs/R%26D%20Tax%20Incentive.svg) ### R&D Tax Incentive Some of your R&D research costs may qualify for a tax offset, which can free up funds for more research or other business priorities. Our advisers can help you review the key eligibility requirements and apply for the incentive. Research and development just became more affordable. ![Export Market Development Grant](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/hubfs/Export%20Market%20Development%20Grant.svg) ### Export Market Development Grant If yours is a small-or medium-sized business that exports goods or services, you need to find out if you qualify for this grant. In addition to providing a reimbursement for this year’s expenses, you may qualify for funds to help cover costs incurred from the two years immediately preceding your application. We can guide you through the process. ![Jobs Action Plan](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/hubfs/Jobs%20Action%20Plan.svg) ### Jobs Action Plan Created as motivation for employers to grow their businesses and hire new workers, the Jobs Action Plan may help your business to thrive financially while working toward your expansion goals. Our advisers will help you to find out if you qualify for this program, and if you do, we can walk you through the details and make sure you’re eligible. ![Small Business Grant-1](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/hubfs/Small%20Business%20Grant-1.svg) ### Small Business Grant The Small Business Grant is designed to encourage small businesses to employ new full-time, part-time and casual workers. Where a new position is created and still exists a year later, you get a cash incentive.

KIND PEOPLE ## “Your assistance in applying for Government Grants have resulted in several-hundred-thousand dollars in grant benefits, both in the form of cash and tax credits. As a start-up business who invests every cent of profit back into our technology and business growth, to receive benefits like these provides a lifeline for us to continue pursuing our goals. Your knowledge of both the grant application process and tax related issues has been extremely helpful. The information you provide gives me the confidence and reassurance that I can “set and forget”, without having to circle-back and check on things.” ##### Kai L ##### Retail & eCommerce Logistics Industry S ###### HELPLFUL CONTENT ## Suggested Resources [R & D](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/blog/topic/r-d) - 4 min read #### [Government Grants - Are You Eligible](https://www.altusfinancial.com.au/blog/government-grants-are-you-eligible) Government grants can jump-start new businesses and offer established companies an opportunity to expand, retool or modernise.
