Invention is what drives businesses forward. But when cash flow is being funnelled towards other critical areas of the business, spending valuable resources on risky, unpredictable, and expensive R&D would make most business owners immediately bolt in the opposite direction.

On today’s episode we are joined by Simone Quin, who is a specialist Capital & Growth advisor. Simone shares her wealth of knowledge surrounding the sometimes unknown and somewhat under-utilised R&D Tax Incentive Program that is available for most Australian businesses. She explains how the cash-back rebate can be a game-changer for companies to leverage the rebate to drive industry improvement and innovation - without the financial burden. We’ll unpack the broad range of criteria, navigating the application process, modernising business practices, and how it could be utilised in your very own business.

Join us as we look to the future of Australian invention and how business and government can work hand in hand to shape our global economic competitiveness.

Episode Highlights:
(00:51) Introduction to this week’s guest, Simone Quin
(03:03) The ideal candidate for the program
(05:12) Breaking down the financial implications
(10:27) Potential cons and pitfalls of applying
(13:34) Working with cashflow and taxes to your advantage
(18:19) Applying and the benefit of using an R&D agent
