Advance Funding Webinar
Rethinking How To Leverage R&D Tax Credits To Power Your Business Growth
Thu, 30 September 2021, 12:00 – 13:00 BST
EmpowerRD and Fundsquire have partnered to discuss how innovative businesses can fast track their growth by receiving the value of their R&D tax credit claim ahead of the standard HMRC payout time.
Whilst most businesses are aware of the R&D tax credit scheme, fewer know that they can get R&D advance funding, which gives you access to your future R&D tax credit up to 9 months early. The R&D Tax Credits scheme can be powerful for businesses when utilized and leveraged to suit what works best for them.
Join EmpowerRD’s Mike Baker and Fundsquire’s Rowan Gallagher and Jack Sparkes who will explain how this non-dilutive funding option can give your business quick and early access to the funds it needs to unlock working capital and invest, accelerate growth, and gain the advantage over the competition.
