R&D&I Grants and Incentives
Grants for SMEs
We help you get all the support of the administrations
Having specialised advice on aid and subsidies can make a difference in the growth of a small business. Identifying which incentives fit your activity, knowing the requirements of each call and correctly managing the entire process requires time, technical knowledge and constant monitoring that is not always easy to assume when you do not have specialised personnel.
At Afianza Avant we work so that you can take advantage of all the public financing opportunities available. We accompany you throughout the entire process, from the identification of aid and incentives to management, monitoring and final justification. Our goal is to help you transform investments, projects and growth initiatives into real opportunities for savings, financing and improved profitability.

Our Aid and Subsidies services
This is how we take care of obtaining public financing for your business
Tax deductions for R&D&i activities
If your company develops new products, improves processes or is committed to innovation, you can access important tax benefits.
At Afianza Avant we identify the projects that can benefit from these deductions, we calculate the applicable incentive, we prepare the necessary technical-economic reports and we manage the relationship with the certifying entities to obtain the Binding Motivated Report (IMV).
In addition, when the project allows it, we also manage the monetization request so that you can maximize the economic return on your investment.
Subsidies and public aid for competitiveness
Public aid can become a key tool to increase the liquidity of your business and strengthen its competitiveness. This aid can come in the form of direct grants or loans on favorable terms.
At Afianza Avant we accompany you in all phases of the process: we identify and classify your projects, we look for the most appropriate lines of financing, we present the applications, we monitor the milestones and we manage the justification before the corresponding administration.
We work with local, regional and state subsidies, as well as specific programs related to contracting, the acquisition of technical equipment or the development of R&D projects.
Social Security bonuses for research personnel
Companies that have professionals dedicated exclusively to R&D&i activities can benefit from discounts on Social Security contributions, thus reducing their labour costs.
At Afianza Avant we analyse which workers meet the requirements, we calculate the potential savings and carry out continuous monitoring to guarantee the correct application of the incentive.
We also coordinate the certification process and the management of the Binding Motivated Report (BMI) before the Ministry, with the aim that you can obtain the maximum return on your investment in innovative talent.
Fiscal investment in culture and R&D
Your company can benefit from important tax advantages by investing in cultural and R&D projects. At Afianza Avant we identify eligible projects, analyse investment opportunities and structure the operation to optimise the tax incentive. In addition, we accompany you throughout the entire process, from the technical and legal analysis to the application of the incentive, guaranteeing compliance with the established requirements.
—Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions
What are subsidies for SMEs and what types exist?
Subsidies for SMEs are public aid intended to finance certain investments, projects or business activities. They may be aimed, among other objectives, at digitalization, innovation, contracting, internationalisation, energy efficiency, entrepreneurship or modernization of the company.
What does a grants manager do?
A grants manager identifies suitable calls for the company, analyzes its requirements and prepares and submits the application and necessary documentation. You can also monitor the file and take care of the subsequent justification of the aid granted.
When should you ask for professional help to apply for a grant?
It is especially convenient when the call has complex technical or administrative requirements, requires extensive documentation or the amount of aid justifies specialised preparation. It can also be useful when the company does not have internal resources to correctly manage deadlines and obligations.
What requirements must I meet to qualify for a subsidy?
The requirements depend on each call and may refer to the size of the company, activity, location, fiscal or employment situation and characteristics of the project. In addition, certain conditions must normally be met during the execution and justification of the subsidized action.
What should I consider when choosing a grant management consultancy?
It is advisable to assess their experience with similar aid, knowledge of the different calls and ability to accompany the entire process, including the justification. It is also important that you clearly explain the requirements, real possibilities of obtaining help, fees and obligations that the company will assume.
What happens if I do not correctly justify a subsidy? Do I have to return the money?
An incorrect, incomplete or late justification may result in total or partial loss of the subsidy. Depending on the non-compliance and the conditions of the call, the Administration may demand the reimbursement of the amounts received and, in certain cases, the corresponding interest.
How long do I have to justify a subsidy once it has been granted?
There is no single deadline for all subsidies: each call and resolution establishes its own execution and justification periods. Therefore, it is essential to review the specific conditions of the aid and prepare the documentation in advance to avoid non-compliance.
