FAQs
What our clients often ask before they get started.
Which types of Industrial Tech projects most commonly receive non-dilutive funding?
Projects focused on energy efficiency, automation (Industry 4.0), circular economy initiatives in manufacturing, or the development of new materials are the prime targets for government grants and incentives.
How do you help us finance the high cost of customer pilot projects?
We specifically target Demonstration and Market Introduction Grants. These funds are explicitly designed to cover the costs of installing and testing your technology in a real industrial environment, thereby lowering the hurdle for the first sale.
Our technology is "Deep Tech" and has no revenue yet. Do we qualify?
Yes. The majority of Deep Tech Grants are designed for Pre-Revenue companies. The focus is on the Technological Feasibility (Technical Readiness Level, TRL) and the potential industrial impact, not on the current cash flow.
How do R&D Tax Credits differ from Grants?
Grants are upfront capital for future, specific projects. Tax Credits are retrospective refunds for R&D expenses you have already incurred. We help you strategically combine both to maximize your immediate and long-term liquidity.
What happens after the grant or loan is approved?
Post-approval, we can offer optional support for mandatory reporting, financial reconciliation, and milestone management. This ensures you remain compliant with the funding body and receive all scheduled disbursements on time.
