WELCOME !

Thanks for dropping in for some hopefully great business info and on occasion some hopefully not too sarcastic comments on the state of Business Financing in Canada and what we are doing about it !

In 2004 I founded 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL. At that time I had spent all my working life, at that time - Over 30 years in Commercial credit and lending and Canadian business financing. I believe the commercial lending landscape has drastically changed in Canada. I believe a void exists for business owners and finance managers for companies, large and small who want service, creativity, and alternatives.

Every day we strive to consistently deliver business financing that you feel meets the needs of your business. If you believe as we do that financing solutions and alternatives exist for your firm we want to talk to you. Our purpose is simple: we want to deliver the best business finance solutions for your company.

Financing SRED Credits: Cash Flow Optimization Via A SR ED Tax Credit Loan






The Silver Lining In The Dark Cloud Of Waiting For Your SR&ED Claim Refund















OVERVIEW – Information on the benefits and utilization of a SR ED Tax Credit Loan in Canada. Financing your SRED Credits is a smart way to accelerate your SR&ED refund






Financing SRED (SR&ED) credits in Canada
is one key way in which business owners/manager participating in the program can ' optimize ' the benefits of this popular program. We're maintaining that a SR ED Tax Credit Loan is in effect a great ' silver lining in the dark cloud “of ... waiting for your refund. Let's dig in.

There are also other ways in which you can, effect, monetize your SR&ED filing each year. It's your way of course to take part of the 3 Billion $+ the federal and provincial governments typically spend on the program each year. The double whammy of receiving a refundable tax credit while at the same time maintaining your competitive stance is clearly a key driver in utilization of the program.

Whether it's simply filing your claim, or financing it your company is constantly in a 'waiting game’. In fact certain deadlines for filing and having your claim adjudicated are in fact cast in stone in Canada Revenue Agency rules. Their service standards are clearly laid out. By the way the financing of your refund allows you to leap frog the timelines in question.

Optimizing your claim, including considering a SR ED tax credit loan revolves around the proper preparation of your refund claim. While a very small portion of firms prepare and write their own claims typically this work is most effectively completed with the services of a ' SR&ED Consultant.

A good consultant will also lend credibility to your SRED finance loan application in that their work in areas of writing the narrative to your claim, as well as properly itemizing the costs is to key our ' optimization ' them . Who wouldn’t want to have a goal of ' fast tracking ' CRA' in areas of eligibility, expenses incurred, and co-coordinating the filing with your accountants. That ' notice of assessment ' followed by your refund cheque is clearly the goal line!

It's important to note that since SR&ED refund claims are filed only when you have completed your year end financials and corporate tax return this simply enhances the temptation of accelerate your refund via a SR ED tax credit loan.

Very few could argue that the funds you receive under the program (typically in the general range of 35% of all monies incurred in R&D) is valuable cash flow. Many firms who are start up or early revenue will attest to this!

Financing SRED Credits is of course an option, not a requirement. Only firms who are looking to accelerate cash flow should consider the SR ED tax credit loan. You need to give consideration to the overall timing of your claim as well as the actual need for funds. Typically your firm would use the proceeds of a SR&ED bridge loan for general working capital purposes in any area of their business

Financing your refundable sred tax credit couldn’t be simpler. The loan is structured as a bridge loan for 70% of the total value of your claim. No monthly payments are required, as financing costs ' accrue’, thereby making the loan even more attractive from a viewpoint of cash outlay. And by the way, you can start financing yesterdays SRED, today’s claim, and next years claim... whenever you wish.
