They can provide crucial financial support and resources that can help accelerate your business. This article will take you through seven benefits that government grants can provide to New Zealand startups.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Access to Funding Without Equity Dilution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major advantages of government grants for New Zealand startups is that they <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/startups\/pitching-government-grants\/\">offer access to funding <\/a>without the need to give up any equity in your business. This is unlike venture capital or angel investment, which usually requires you to give up a significant ownership stake in your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, governmental business grants provide non-dilutive funds, allowing you to maintain complete control and ownership of your business. This is particularly beneficial for your start up if it is in its earliest stages of growth. Such startups are often still getting their feet off the ground and need funding, but they do not want to part with ownership or control in exchange for external investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Support for Innovation and R&amp;D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/startups\/startup-government-grants\/\">New Zealand government grants<\/a> are typically aimed at facilitating startups focused on innovation and research and development (R&amp;D) activities. R&amp;D grants allow startups to invest in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>developing new products;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>creating new technologies; or&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>focusing on processes that can further their competitive edge.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding R&amp;D initiatives means that such grants help startups overcome the main barrier to innovation, which is a lack of finances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline bg-gray-800 rounded-t-xl\">\n    Continue

Validation and Credibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obtaining government funding can give your start up validation from respected governmental agencies or industry bodies. In turn, this gives you credibility in the eyes of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>prospective customers;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>potential investors; and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>future business partners.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This seal of approval shows that the government has recognised your start up as having potential value. Such validation is often a lifeline for startups in either highly competitive or emerging sectors. It may be what gives your start up the attention from stakeholders it needs to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Access to Resources and Support Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Government grants often come with a range of benefits that go beyond finances. For example, these grants often come with access to a diverse range of resources created with the sole purpose to help startups grow and succeed. These resources might include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>mentorship programs;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>business consulting or advisory services;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>networking opportunities; or&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>access to facilities, such as office spaces.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilising these resources means your start up can benefit from the guidance of experienced professionals and tools that might not otherwise be available to you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Contribute to Job Creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Government grants for startups often play a major role in stimulating job creation in New Zealand. This then leads to economic growth more generally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting the development of innovative businesses and new emerging technologies means that these grants lead to new employment opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>Startups that receive funding may go on to attract additional investment and expand even further. This revenue generation can lead to the creation of jobs across a wide range of sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Participate in Social Initiatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many government grants in New Zealand are aimed at financing startups that are addressing major topical challenges. This includes social or environmental issues, such as healthcare or climate change initiatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting such startups means government grants contribute to positive outcomes for these issues. By providing funding or initiatives that relate to social or environmental issues, both the startups and the governmental agencies involved gain recognition for their contribution to the cause that they are focusing on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Minimise Risk&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overcoming the uncertainties and risks that come with launching and scaling a start up can be difficult. However, government grants provide a degree of stability that supports startups to overcome such challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing funding that is not conditional on commercial success means that government grants can ultimately give your start up the room that it needs to explore and grow as needed without the fear of needing to meet certain commercial targets. This allows you to focus more on the purpose and vision of your start up without the financial pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/21140438\/NZ-Startup-Manual-251x360-2.png\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">NZ Startup Manual: A Legal Handbook For Founders<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>Essential reading for anyone building their startup.
