Claim the incentives your business qualifies for, wherever you operate.
Government incentives are grants, subsidies, tax benefits and other support offered by national, regional and local governments to encourage investment, manufacturing, exports, employment and innovation. The schemes available, the authority that administers them and the conditions attached vary by country and often by state, province or free trade zone. Each has eligibility conditions, an application process and compliance requirements that continue after the benefit is granted.
Governments around the world offer incentives to attract investment, boost exports and create jobs. Many go unclaimed, because businesses are not aware of them, miss an application window, fail the conditions attached, or assume a scheme only applies domestically.
M2K Advisors helps businesses identify the schemes that fit their plans in the jurisdictions where they operate or are investing, prepares and supports the application, and monitors compliance with the conditions afterwards, so the benefit is claimed and kept. Our tax and compliance teams work with you throughout, which helps ensure that incentive claims are consistent with your filings, wherever you're based.

The main categories of support available to businesses internationally.
National and regional schemes that reward investment and output in targeted manufacturing sectors.
State, provincial or municipal capital subsidies, tax reimbursements and duty exemptions for new units and expansions.
Schemes that refund or exempt taxes and duties on goods and services exported.
Support tied to hiring and retaining employees.
Recognition, grants and tax benefits for eligible startups and innovation.
Benefits for units in special economic zones, free trade zones and international financial services centres.
They include national schemes for manufacturing, exports and startups, regional or state-level benefits such as capital subsidies and tax reimbursements, employment-linked benefits, and incentives for units in special economic zones or free trade zones. Which ones apply depends on your sector, location, size and investment plans, and varies considerably from one jurisdiction to the next.
We advise on government incentives across the jurisdictions where our clients operate and invest, coordinated through our offices in India, Singapore, the USA and the UAE and our wider network of over 20 countries. Tell us where you're investing and we'll confirm what's available and how we can support you there.
We review your business, sector, location and investment plans against the schemes in force and give you a list of what you may qualify for, with the benefit, conditions and timelines for each.
No. Approval rests with the authority. What we do is make sure applications are complete, well supported and correctly positioned, and we stay involved through any queries.
Yes. Most incentives carry conditions, such as investment levels, employment or reporting. We monitor these so that the benefit is retained and claims are made on time.
In most jurisdictions, many schemes are open to companies with foreign ownership, subject to their own eligibility rules and sector conditions. We help foreign investors compare locations across countries and structure their investment to meet the requirements.
The tax and accounting treatment of an incentive depends on its nature: a grant, a subsidy, a tax exemption or a refund are treated differently. We advise on this early so that your claims and your tax filings are consistent.
Often before you commit to the investment. Many schemes require an application or registration before production starts or assets are bought, and missing that window can rule you out. Early review avoids that risk.
