Question 1

What is GrantsMAX?

Accepted Answer

GrantsMAX is an AI grant agent for Australian businesses. It connects to your accounting data, discovers the government grants and R&D tax incentives your business may be eligible for, and prepares an evidence-backed application pack. Your registered accountant or tax agent reviews, refines, and lodges. AI-prepared, accountant-reviewed.

Question 2

How do I know what my business may be eligible for?

Accepted Answer

GrantsMAX reads your activity and spend, then assesses your business against 1,700+ Australian grant and incentive programs, starting with the R&D Tax Incentive. You get a plain-English eligibility assessment with risk flags. It is guidance to discuss with your accountant, not a determination of eligibility.

Question 3

Who actually lodges the claim?

Accepted Answer

Your accountant does. GrantsMAX prepares the application; a registered tax agent reviews and lodges it, and your business owns the claim, supported by the evidence trail. GrantsMAX never lodges and never replaces your accountant. They stay in control.

Question 4

Is my data secure, and what can GrantsMAX access?

Accepted Answer

Access is read-only. GrantsMAX connects to Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace through MCP to read the figures and documents it needs, and never writes back to your systems. Your data is stored in an isolated, per-account environment, encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold, and never used to train shared models.

Question 5

How does pricing compare to a grants consultant?

Accepted Answer

Legacy consultants typically charge a success fee of 10 to 20 percent of grants secured to prepare a claim by hand. GrantsMAX is priced below that: a share of grants secured for the prepared pack, with no promise of any amount or outcome. Because the work is reusable, the same claim takes hours instead of weeks each financial year.

Question 6

What is the R&D Tax Incentive, and is it recurring?

Accepted Answer

The R&D Tax Incentive is Australia's largest business support program, self-assessed and lodged every financial year for eligible R&D activity. GrantsMAX prepares activity narratives and a cost structure substantiated from your accounting data, so the claim is audit-ready and ready to repeat each year. Your accountant reviews and lodges.

Question 7

Do I need an accountant to use GrantsMAX?

Accepted Answer

GrantsMAX prepares the application, and a registered accountant or tax agent reviews and lodges it. If you already work with one, they stay in control and use the evidence pack to sign off faster. If you do not, we can help you connect with a registered tax agent to review and lodge.

Question 8

How fast can a claim be prepared?

Accepted Answer

Because the pack is drafted from your own accounting data, preparation that traditionally takes weeks of back-and-forth compresses into hours. Your accountant then reviews, refines, and lodges on their own timeline, and the pack refreshes from live data each year.
