But when the money hits the bank, a key decision arises: how to use it as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"582\">In many tech startups, a significant portion of the funds raised is allocated to innovation: software development, prototypes, proof of concepts, artificial intelligence, technical validations, industrialization, certifications, or pilot projects with clients.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"689\">These expenses are necessary, but it\u2019s worth analyzing them from a tax and financial perspective as well.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"1038\">Many innovation activities can generate tax deductions for R&amp;D&amp;i. The problem is that many startups still don\u2019t have enough profits to take advantage of these deductions in their Corporate Income Tax. In practice, the startup may be generating future tax savings but unable to benefit from them now\u2014precisely when cash management is most critical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1085\">This is where Tax Lease can be a useful tool.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1211\">It\u2019s not a grant. It\u2019s not a new funding round. It doesn\u2019t involve dilution. It\u2019s a financing tool linked to R&amp;D&amp;i projects.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1395\">It makes particular sense after closing a round, because the startup usually enters a phase of strong execution: more team, more product, more technology, and more market validation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1568\">The logic is clear: if you\u2019re already going to invest in innovation, it\u2019s worth structuring that spending properly to reduce its net cost and extend your available runway.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1769\">To do this, it\u2019s important to review which innovation activities are planned, which expenses can be included, the execution timeline, and how to document everything in a structured and compliant way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1871\">After closing a round, the additional question should be: \u201chow can we make innovation cost us less?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1989\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">To assess whether R&amp;D&amp;i Tax Lease could fit your case, you can contact Dolors Fenollosa at <a class=\"decorated-link cursor-pointer\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1988\">dolors.fenollosa@mbc.cat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"thread-bottom-container\" class=\"sticky bottom-0 z-10 group\/thread-bottom-container relative isolate w-full basis-auto has-data-has-thread-error:pt-2 has-data-has-thread-error:[box-shadow:var(--sharp-edge-bottom-shadow)] md:border-transparent md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:dark:border-transparent print:hidden content-fade single-line flex flex-col\">\n<div id=\"thread-bottom\">\n<div class=\"text-base mx-auto [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 mb-[var(--thread-component-gap,1rem)]\">\n<div class=\"pointer-events-auto relative z-1 flex h-(--composer-container-height,100%) max-w-full flex-(--composer-container-flex,1) flex-col\">\n<form class=\"group\/composer w-full\" data-type=\"unified-composer\">\n<div class=\"hidden\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"bg-token-bg-primary dark:bg-token-bg-elevated-primary dark-oled:bg-token-bg-primary corner-superellipse\/1.1 cursor-text overflow-clip bg-clip-padding p-2.5 contain-inline-size motion-safe:transition-colors motion-safe:duration-200 motion-safe:ease-in-out grid grid-cols-[auto_1fr_auto] [grid-template-areas:'header_header_header'_'leading_primary_trailing'_'._footer_.'] group-data-expanded\/composer:[grid-template-areas:'header_header_header'_'primary_primary_primary'_'leading_footer_trailing'] shadow-short-composer\" data-composer-surface=\"true\">\n<div class=\"-my-2.5 flex min-h-14 items-center overflow-x-hidden px-1.5 [grid-area:primary] group-data-expanded\/composer:mb-0 group-data-expanded\/composer:px-2.5\">\n<div class=\"wcDTda_prosemirror-parent text-token-text-primary max-h-[max(30svh,5rem)] max-h-52 min-h-[var(--deep-research-composer-extra-height,unset)] flex-1 overflow-auto [scrollbar-width:thin] default-browser vertical-scroll-fade-mask\">\n<div id=\"prompt-textarea\" class=\"ProseMirror\" role=\"textbox\" contenteditable=\"true\" translate=\"no\" data-virtualkeyboard=\"true\" aria-multiline=\"true\" aria-label=\"Chatear con ChatGPT\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Closing a private round allows a startup to accelerate: hire a team, develop products, validate technology, enter new markets, or scale operations.
