Grants and Incentives
Government grants and tax incentives are one of the few sources of business funding that don't cost you interest or equity. The catch is that most programs are competitive, time limited, and heavy on paperwork. Stragans helps you find the right programs, build a strong application, and stay compliant once the money lands.
What we help with
R&D Tax Incentive
If your business is developing new products, processes, or software, you may be eligible to claim back a portion of your research and development costs. We assess your activities against the legislation, identify what qualifies, and prepare a claim that holds up under review. This includes registering your activities with AusIndustry, calculating eligible expenditure, and keeping the documentation the ATO expects to see.
Federal and state grants
New grant rounds open throughout the year across energy efficiency, manufacturing, exporting, digital adoption, and regional development. We track the programs relevant to your industry and let you know when something fits, rather than waiting for you to stumble across a deadline. When a program suits your business, we handle the application, from eligibility checks through to submission.
Export and industry-specific incentives
Depending on your sector, there may be incentives tied to exporting, employing apprentices, or investing in equipment or premises. We review your circumstances against the current programs on offer and flag anything worth pursuing.
Compliance and reporting
Winning a grant is only the first step. Most programs come with reporting obligations, spending rules, and audit requirements. We help you set up the right record-keeping from day one, so acquittal reports and compliance reviews are straightforward rather than stressful.
How we work
We start with a short review of your business and current projects to see what you're likely eligible for. From there we tell you plainly whether it's worth applying, what the process involves, and what we'd need from you. If you go ahead, we prepare the application, liaise with the relevant agency, and stay involved through to approval and beyond.
Why work with Stragans
We've helped businesses across construction, engineering, hospitality, medical, and retail secure funding they didn't know was available. Our approach is practical: we won't put you through an application for a program you're unlikely to win, and we won't disappear once the grant is approved. You get a team that understands both the funding rules and your business.
