Innovative Companies undertaking eligible R&D activities may claim up to 33% of the expenditure as a refund from the HMRC as well as grants from bodies such as Innovate UK. Access your R&D Tax Credit and Grants upfront from Rocking Horse Finance so that you can: - Expedite further R&D activities; - Bring forward commercialisation plans; - Satisfy ongoing cash flow needs; and - Delay or avoid expensive equity raisings. Debt is Cheaper than Equity When raising debt the cost is the interest expense (which may be tax deductible) whereas when you raise equity you are affording shareholders' a claim on your business's future earnings. At Rocking Horse Finance we understand the challenge of funding R&D, while still coping with the expense of running your day to day business. That’s why we have developed an R&D financing solution that can get your innovations off the ground faster. By bringing forward your R&D tax refund you can put off expensive equity raisings to develop further and get better valuations on your business.
