Attract capital investment to grow

Obtaining Early Stage Innovation Company status is crucial for start-ups as investors in ESICs receive 20% of their investment amount as a tax offset, and receive capital gains tax free status on the shares provided that they are held for more than 12 months

How our ESIC Service works

Certainty through a Private Ruling.

1

Qualification.

This is the initial stage where we have a discussion to determine whether your company is eligible for ESIC status

2

Preparation.

We prepare a Private Ruling on your behalf and provide it to you for review and sign-off

3

Lodgement.

Once you sign off on the Private Ruling, we lodge it with the ATO and liaise with them directly to address any queries that they may have.

4

ESIC status.

Once achieved, we will forward to you the ATO’s Private Ruling decision advising of your company’s ESIC status

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

It took us a good couple of years to get on top of our annual R&D claims process and still it was an effort of note. That’s until BridgePoint Group got involved – with their fantastic balance between professionalism and yet easy to work with, made this quick, efficient and completely painless for us.

Frik Botha

Business Director Airdocs

I engaged with BridgePoint Group to assist with our R&D grant application process. I was bracing myself for a lengthy and convoluted process but they made it surprisingly quick and painless. The amount of money we were able to claim exceeded my expectations, so I will be using their services again in future.

Tjaart van der Walt

CEO TruTeq

We spend a lot of time modifying our processes and algorithms to maximise the insights to our 200+ hospitals across ANZ and the UAE. BridgePoint Group provided us expertise and knowledge that enabled us to understand the R&D work Potential(x) had undertaken and then provided us with the necessary process to prepare our application to AusIndustry and the ATO return without hassle. The ROI paid back a multiple by reducing our taxable income.
