Leyton Impulse joins the Barcelona Finance Hub to transform access to private R&D&I financing

In its mission to continue weaving a connected financial ecosystem, the Barcelona Finance Hub (BFH) incorporates as a new strategic partner Leyton Impulse, the private investment unit in R&D&I of Leyton Iberia, specialized in connecting private capital with projects of high technological and scientific impact through the Tax Lease model.

‍

The alliance reinforces the hub's value proposition by incorporating an innovative solution that allows startups and SMEs with R&D&I projects to multiply their financing capacity without debt or dilution, while offering private investors a tax-optimized return of up to 30% in a reduced term.

An innovative model that connects capital and innovation

Leyton Impulse operates as a pioneer vehicle in the Spanish market that facilitates the private financing of R&D&I projects through qualified investors, using the tax instrument of Tax Lease, adapted to the current legal and tax framework.

‍

Its focus is on:

• Technological and industrial startups in post-seed or Series A phase, with an R&D&I project in the development phase (minimum estimated CAPEX of €250,000) and co-financing capacity.
• Private investors seeking a profitable, secure and real-impact operation through a carefully curated portfolio of projects with high transformational potential.

‍

This model not only solves one of the major barriers in the entrepreneurial ecosystem - access to non-dilutive liquidity for innovation-intensive projects - but also contributes to position Spain as a European benchmark in tax-efficient investment with high economic and social impact.

‍

What does Leyton Impulse bring to the Barcelona Finance Hub?

• A unique proposal of private financing for R&D&I projects through Tax Lease, aligned with the growth strategy of technology startups.
• A transformative vision of the role of private capital in innovation, promoting responsible and purposeful investment.
• A network of highly qualified projects and a solid technical-legal process that reduces friction between developers and investors.
• A multidisciplinary and transparent approach that combines operational agility with tax and legal excellence.
