Unlocking Early Funding for R&D Tax Credits and Grants: How to Access Cash Before Government Payouts
Innovation grants, such as those offered by a state or federal government provide vital funding for businesses conducting cutting-edge research and development. Similarly, R&D tax credits reward companies for their innovation by offering substantial cash refunds or tax reductions. However, a major challenge arises because both grants and R&D tax credits are typically paid retrospectively—meaning businesses must first spend their own capital to fund projects before receiving reimbursement.
This delay can create cash flow bottlenecks, slowing down R&D progress, delaying hiring, or even forcing companies to seek expensive loans or give up equity prematurely. Fortunately, there’s a solution: Grant Ninja is Swanson Reed’s grant funding solution to help these businesses recieve much needed upfront payments. Although Swanson Reed does not provide financing or loan projects, we can put you in touch with the best fiting firm or financial institutions to help bridge the gap, providing businesses with upfront capital so they don’t have to wait for government payouts.
How Grant Advance Funding Works?
With Advance Funding, companies can access a significant portion of their expected grant money before the government pays out. In some cases we can help a company secure up to 80% of the grant value as in advance. This would then be repaid once the grant has been recieved. This will help reduce cash flow disruptions, help you focus on your innovation, accelerate hiring, procurement, and development, and ensure equity preservation.
