Services

What is the R&D Tax Incentive and how can you help?

The R&D Tax Incentive provides tax offsets for eligible research and development activities. We simplify eligibility assessment, documentation, and claim preparation so you can maximise benefits with confidence.

Do you assist with EMDG (Export Market Development Grants)?

Absolutely. We manage the end-to-end EMDG process—from eligibility checks and planning through to application and milestone reporting—so you can focus on entering and growing in international markets.

Can you help with competitive government grants?

Yes. We identify the right grant programs, shape the strategy, and prepare compelling submissions to improve your chance of success.

Do you offer tender writing?

We craft structured, persuasive tender responses for government and private sector opportunities, helping you stand out and win more work.

Do you invest in companies as well as advise?

For select opportunities, yes. Our Investments & Ventures activity includes direct participation and co-investment with partners to help high-potential startups and SMEs scale.

Process & Onboarding

How does the engagement typically start?

Start by getting in touch via our contact form. We’ll hold a short discovery call to clarify goals, eligibility, timelines, and the best funding pathway, then provide a proposal outlining scope, deliverables, and fees.

What does your end-to-end support include?

Depending on the service, it can include eligibility checks, strategy and planning, information and evidence gathering, application drafting, submission, and post-submission support (e.g., milestone reporting for EMDG).

What documents will I need to provide?

Requirements vary by program, but typically include company details, financials, project/activity summaries, evidence of R&D or export activities, and supporting invoices or contracts. We’ll send a tailored checklist after the discovery call.

How long does the process take?

Timelines depend on the program and round dates. We’ll map key dates and internal milestones during onboarding so you know exactly what to expect. (For example, EMDG timelines can shift with program updates announced by Austrade.)

Can you keep us updated on program changes?

Yes. We monitor updates to programs like EMDG and publish insights on our News page so clients stay informed.

Fees & Terms

How are fees structured?

Fees are tailored to the scope and complexity of your engagement. After the discovery call we’ll provide a clear proposal with pricing and deliverables, so there are no surprises.

Do you work on one-off projects or ongoing support?

Both. We can help with a single application/tender or provide ongoing advisory support across multiple programs and funding cycles.

Results & Assurance

What industries do you support?

We work across a broad range of innovation-driven sectors—supporting companies developing new products, services, and export markets. If you’re unsure about fit, we’ll assess eligibility in your discovery call.

Do you provide help if an agency asks follow-up questions?

Yes. Where included in scope, we assist with clarifications and post-submission requirements (e.g., EMDG milestone reporting).
