"We didn't even know that the R&D Tax Incentive was available. We went through the form and pre-qualified. They connected us with a R&D grant specialist who took over and completed the claim for us. $73k in cash back thus far, which has allowed our company to continually improve our product development. Thanks to Grant Buddy, we got approved and funded."

The Research & Development Tax Incentive (RDTI) is an Australian Government programme that provides tax offsets for expenditure on eligible R&D activities. The aim is to encourage businesses to support the development of new products, processes and services, encourage innovation and increase competitiveness and productivity. It provides cash back, or in some instances a tax saving of up to 43.5% based on your eligible R&D expenditure.
This can make it more attractive for businesses and entrepreneurs to invest in R&D, as it can help to reduce the financial burden of these activities, and allow you to access critical cashflow your business needs to keep the R&D cogs turning.

Meet Chris
Hi, I'm Chris Stanton, based in the sunny Gold Coast.
After being in business for over 19 years and having a degree in Industrial Design, I understand that cashflow is paramount when it comes to Research, Development and Innovation.
Whether you are developing a new product, device, software, AI, technology, process, system or material…cash flow is king!
After speaking to many Aussie companies, most of them have the same issues when it comes to research and development:
1. Running out of money
2. Taking short cuts/not completing the development properly
3. Lacking time & resources
4. Simply giving up and throwing in the towel
5. Not paying yourself or your team properly
BUT the most concerning issue that I found…
Not enough Australian companies are aware of the Research & Development Tax Incentive.
In fact, there are approx. 12,000 + Australian companies that are eligible, but don’t claim R&D grant funding annually.
I wanted to fix this, so in 2021 we created Grant Buddy, in order to raise awareness of the program to help Aussie businesses innovate and fuel growth.
The Grant Buddy platform connects/matches you to an R&D Consultant based on your R&D activity & Industry.
My vision is to make sure that every Australian company that’s eligible for R&D Grant Funding - receives it and maximises it.
Happy Innovating 😊
