Lunch & Learn: Tax, Grants & Growth with Amit Shah

Whether you're just starting your startup journey or already growing your business, understanding tax, grants and financial strategy can save you time, money and headaches.

Join us for a practical Lunch & Learn with Amit Shah, one of Australia's leading advisers to startup and scale-up businesses and Director at The Gild Group.

Amit has spent years working alongside founders to help them structure their businesses, raise capital, access government incentives, and build the financial foundations needed to scale successfully. As the founder of The Startup Shop and Get Grants, he has worked with more than 350 startups and mentored founders through organisations including UTS Startups, H2 Accelerator, Westpac Fueld, UNSW, Fishburners and Stone & Chalk.

During this interactive session, Amit will share practical insights on:

Tax planning for startups and small businesses

Government grants and the R&D Tax Incentive

Setting up your business for sustainable growth

Common financial mistakes founders make (and how to avoid them)

Business structures, compliance and planning

Answering your startup finance questions

This is designed to be an interactive discussion rather than a presentation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions that are directly relevant to your business.

🥪 BYO lunch - we'll provide snacks and drinks.

We'd love your input!

To help us tailor the session to the audience, please submit one question you'd like Amit to answer when you register. Whether it's about tax, grants, raising capital, business structure or scaling your startup, we'll use your questions to help shape the discussion.
