R&D TAX CREDITS

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

Research and Development (R&D) tax credits are a type of tax incentive provided by governments to encourage companies to invest in research and development activities. These tax credits are designed to reward companies that engage in innovative activities by reducing their tax liability or providing cash refunds.

R&D tax credits vary by country, but they generally apply to expenses related to the development of new products, processes, or technologies. Eligible expenses can include employee salaries, contractor fees, materials, and equipment used in R&D activities.

In many cases, companies can claim R&D tax credits even if their research and development projects are not successful. This is because the focus is on the effort and investment made, rather than the outcome.

Overall, R&D tax credits are an effective way to encourage companies to invest in research and development, which can lead to new innovations, increased competitiveness, and economic growth.

Essentially a pre-agreed funding line against unencumbered property/properties so ideal for experienced landlords or property developers. Where this facility differs from a traditional bridging facility is that as the funds are provided against the unencumbered property, therefore the drawdown will rely on the security already taken and not any new property. The facility is in place for 12 months. The only valuation required would be on these unencumbered properties and not on any of the new properties purchased. All we require is a simple application for each drawdown request, the monies are then released within 48hrs of submission.
