Granton

Granton is an innovation funding consultancy based in Gold Coast, Australia, dedicated to assisting businesses in securing vital financial support for their research and development activities and broader innovation initiatives. The firm distinguishes itself by operating with a "startup people" mentality, characterised by a lean, fast, and results-oriented approach focused on client success. Granton specialises in guiding clients through complex application processes for various innovation funding opportunities, aiming to unlock their ventures' potential and propel them to unparalleled success.

Central to Granton's offerings is their expertise in navigating the Australian government's Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive program. This significant initiative encourages R&D by providing tax offsets to businesses undertaking eligible activities within Australia. Granton's team possesses in-depth knowledge of eligibility requirements, ensuring quality submissions that accurately reflect the innovation occurring within a client's business. For eligible small to medium-sized companies with an annual aggregated turnover under $20 million, the program can offer a refundable R&D offset rate equivalent to their corporate tax rate plus an 18.5% premium, potentially returning up to 43.5% back on eligible R&D spending. Granton facilitates these applications on a competitive success fee basis, aligning their incentives with their clients' achievements.

Beyond R&D Tax Incentives, Granton provides comprehensive assistance with public startup grants, securing coveted spots in incubators and accelerators, Export Market Development (EMDG) Grants, Industry Grants, and the preparation of Tender Documents and Submissions. The consultancy extends its services to include innovation advisory, assistance with business structuring, commercialisation strategies, and investor readiness. Their support spans from the initial concept phase through to early-stage commercialisation, providing crucial guidance to help innovative ideas mature into successful ventures. Granton prides itself on being a trusted partner for startups, accountants, and lenders across Australia, with a strong track record of satisfied clients and a 100% success rate on audit-proof claims.
