An R&D loan is a new type of financial instrument that allows a company to use its future R&D tax credit payments as collateral for an affordable loan. The R&D tax credit is a sustainable source of operating cash for many Australian firms, every year.
Though it has been reliable for decades, one of the important problems with the scheme is that the funding is quite slow to process. Many companies end up spending many months, sometimes even up to a year, waiting for the ATO. With R&D Finance, they can access that funding in a couple of weeks. With a new funding timeline, you are able to grow faster than their competition and gain the advantage.
