Financial Support & Incentives

Securing the right financial support can be the difference between a good idea and a breakthrough business. At ISURP, we help companies identify and pursue a variety of funding opportunities that support innovation, research, expansion, and long-term growth.

We don’t just offer advice—we act as a connector and advocate, guiding companies through the complexities of funding so they can focus on what matters most: moving their business forward.

Whether you're a startup seeking early-stage capital or an established enterprise investing in R&D, we are here to help you innovate and grow.

Our team provides personalized guidance to help you navigate:

• State and federal grant programs that support technology development, workforce training, sustainability initiatives, and business expansion. We help tenants understand eligibility requirements and assemble strong, competitive applications.
• Private investment opportunities, including connections to venture capital firms, angel investors, and strategic funding partners who specialize in supporting high-potential science and technology companies.
• Tax incentives and credits, particularly for research and development. Iowa offers a range of R&D tax credits that reward companies for investing in innovation—and our team can help you take full advantage of them.
• Low-interest loan programs and revolving loan funds, often available at the city, county, or state level to support capital improvements, equipment purchases, and job creation.

In partnership with Iowa State University, the Iowa Economic Development Authority, and regional development organizations, ISURP helps tenants build a sustainable financial foundation that supports innovation and scale.
