WHAT IS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT (R&D)?

The term R&D is generally linked to innovation and better products. Research and Development (R&D) includes activities that companies typically undertake to innovate and introduce new products and services.
Companies employ scientific and engineering professionals who design new products and improve their existing offerings. It helps the company grow and adds to the company’s bottom line. R&D enables a company to offer better products and services than its competitors.
The benefits of R&D may contribute to the long-term growth and profitability of a company.
Although R&D is beneficial to a company’s bottom line, it is considered an expense. Some small, local and mid-sized businesses may choose to outsource their R&D efforts because they don’t have the right staff in-house to meet their needs.
