SRED Financing - SR&ED Finance Loans in Canada












SR&ED Financing
is your firm's ability to take immediate cash flow and working capital advantage of our SR&ED tax credit claim. This program, (formal name = Scientific Research and Experimental Development) is bar none the best tax incentive program in Canada. Other than being taxable as income the refund you receive from the government is a non repayable grant. What could be better than that?

The irony in this great program is simply that almost 70% of companies in Canada that are eligible for the program do not even apply, let alone receive their funds! It clearly is a source of untapped cash flow and working capital for your Canadian business that should be maximized to the hilt.

The other 30% of Canadian firms who use the program utilize it around their efforts to develop new products and services, building prototypes, and solving technological challenges.

So your Canadian controlled private company utilizes and files SRED filings. Did you know your claim can be financing immediately after you file it, literally the same day. Specialists that work as 'SR&ED consultants are experts in preparing your claim and in Canada your SRED claim can be prepared at your cost - and you keep all the proceeds of the government grant, or alternatively, your claim can be done on a contingency basis, at no cost to yourself, and the consultant usually keeps anywhere from 10-30% of the total refund received.

However most Canadian business owners and their SRED consultants do not know that your claim can be financing, either during the preparation of your claim, (yes, before your file, if you qualify!) or immediately on filing of your claim.

Generally with this type of financing you receive immediately approximately 70% of the value of your claim. The other 30% still comes back you of course, but its simply a bit of a buffer to cover financing costs and any risk that a portion of the claim will be disallowed or clawed back.

When we think in terms of specialty financing we can categorically state that SRED financing is specialty financing in Canada. We urge clients to locate a business financing advisor who has credibility, experience and background in this area.

The SRED financing process is not as complicated as you seem if you are well prepared and have access to good assistance. Its as simply as completing a basic business financing application, ensuring proper back up is in place and valid. That includes info on your company, the SRED claim itself, your previous SRED claims if you have filed previously etc.

The reality is that SRED financing can be completed within 2-3 weeks of starting the process. The beauty of this type of financing is that no payments are made on the SRED loan. In effect you can say that you have factored or discounted the SRED claim. You are simply waiting for your cheque from Ottawa, and are making use of the working capital and cash flow now. That's a solid interim financing strategy for many firms, and that cash can be used for reduction of payables, investments in new equipment, additional staff, etc. The bottom line = any general worthwhile corporate purpose.

In summary, of course ensure you are taking advantage of Canada's Sr&Ed program. Once that is the case you have the option of financing your claim, allowing you to maximize the true benefits of the program, i.e. the recovery of your R&D expenses in the most time efficient manner possible. That's a solid financial strategy.

Leasing Construction Equipment : New & Used !












Wouldn't It Be A Good Idea To Acquire Construction Equipment Assets The Right Way ? !





Information on the benefits and the mechanics of leasing construction equipment in Canada. This is a cost effect manner of acquiring assets you need to run and grow your business







Leasing construction equipment , both new and used, is a huge part of Canada’s equipment financing industry. The fact that used equipment can be financed at satisfactory rates terms and structures is sometimes news to Canadian business owners and financial managers.

The reality is that this type of financing is a somewhat specialized area of finance and we urge clients to seek a trusted, credible and experienced lease and financing consultant or advisor in this area of Canadian business financing.

Used equipment, particularly in the construction industry, (but in reality a variety of other industries) is financed to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

The equipment plays itself out in a variety of different ways – Companies grow, the acquire other firms, some firms go unfortunately, out of business , yet at the same time the values of equipment hold up significantly due to the quality and nature of the products . Naturally we have just gone through one of the most difficult times in the global economy ever, and , as such , for some of the aforementioned reasons there is a variety of equipment for sale and for re financing .

We would point out to clients that it is very prudent to liken the acquisition of used construction and heavy equipment to renewing your mortgage. By knowing you are pre approved at certain rates and structures gives you significant purchase leverage when negotiating a final price. Even though some industries and sectors, geographic and otherwise are in a slump there is still a deal to be made on a variety of heavy equipment.

When you are acquiring used equipment, construction or otherwise, you should be looking for the same type of leases that you would entertain for other business equipment financing. You have, as always, two options – lease to own, known as a capital lease, or a ‘lease to use’, more commonly known as an operating lease. Given the high dollar values of some of the larger equipment it clearly might make sense to entertain an operating lease if that type of lease can be negotiated satisfactorily. That comes of course with off balance sheet flexibility, and, as importantly, the ability to purchase, upgrade or renew at the end of the lease; and that’s your decision at the time, not the lessors!

Just look at the benefits of such financing. If you can derive both productivity and profits from a piece of used equipment, and get financing in place that is satisfactory in overall pricing, terms and structure you have saved many thousands of dollars in purchase price .

All of the traditional flexibility that is associated with lease financing accrues towards used equipment financing also – they include better cash flow management, the ability to control obsolescence, and the ability to put ‘good debt ‘on your balance sheet – i.e. assets that will be used for production and profits. You should also remember that you can negotiate to include soft costs in your used construction equipment financing – they might include warranty, maintenance, delivery and installation.

Years ago the American firm CIT did a study on why contractors and firms leased equipment – the results were very interesting:

Many firms leased because they saw a limited need for the asset – i.e. not a permanent need

Unexpected need for equipment often came up as a driver in lease financing

Interestingly enough cost was never really the major driver in the lease or purchase decision – as you thought it might be of course

Continually upgrading leases was also cited, given the need to stay current and competitive

So whats our bottom line – simply that you should consider the used equipment construction market for asset acquisition when it makes sense – and by working with an expert lease partner you should be able to maximize the benefits of your acquisition from both a financing and productivity viewpoint . That’s solid Canadian business financing sense!

What if… You Could Negotiate the Best Rates and Terms for Equipment Lease Financing in Canada ?

















Equipment Financing Negotiation Basics

Information on equipment lease financing in Canada. The ability to understand equipment loan basics around cost and structure is a key factor in successfully acquiring new assets




Canadian business owners and financial managers want to know they are getting a good deal when they enter into an equipment lease financing transaction. In a perfect world it would be nice to be an expert in all things we do – reality says that is not the always possible.

However in leasing finance and equipment leasing some key basic knowledge can put you way ahead of the game. Let’s examine some of those key basics. By ensuring clients have some of the basics under their belt, so to speak, can alleviate their concerns that equipment leasing is complex and technical. It can be, but it doesn’t have to be.

When you are entering into an equipment lease financing transaction you should be aware that you have the ability to enter into one single lease, or, if you choose, you have the option of entering into one master lease. The single lease application in Canada is the most basic form of equipment financing. Utilizing a single form application and lease you should use this form for smaller transaction – a good limit on that size of transaction is 50k and under.

If your firm is a regular leasing prospect and has the ability to source and work with a trusted partner you should consider a Master Lease scenario. This document allows you to acquire future equipment while utilizing the same terms and conditions you have negotiated once up front. That clearly saves you time and some expense, as well as solidifying the relationship with your leasing partner.

You should ensure you understand some of the key points that affect the overall benefit of a solid lease rate, term, and structure. Some of these key points are warranties, how tax is paid and calculated, and your maintenance obligations.

When you enter into a Master lease, which is generally recommended as an investment in future financing, you should understand that your equipment leasing company has immediately gained a significant advantage in that all their competitions doesn’t have such an agreement in place with your firm. For that reason you should ensure you are getting a competitive rate.

In meeting with clients we continually feel they don’t full understand how lease pricing works, as well as how to get the benefit of something that approaches the best possible pricing. The reality is that some key factors totally influence your overall pricing and your ability to present those factors in the best light ultimately leads to successful lease negotiation on the part of your firm, the lessee.

Those factors include you years in business, financings you have in place with other lenders, any references you can provide, as well as on occasion the general credit and financial stability of the owners of your firm. Larger transactions require some due diligence on your financial statements, as well as analysis around historical and projected cash flow – i.e. your ability to repay the equipment lease!

We strongly recommend that clients solicit the help of a trusted, credible and experience equipment leasing advisor who can guide them through the basics of successful lease negotiation, with an emphasis on financial and other benefits that accrue to your firm when you complete a equipment lease financing transaction .

Working Capital Lines of Credit and Loans That Work - Not Just For the Bank!









Working Capital Lines of Credit and Loans That Work - Not Just For the Bank!





When business owners and financial managers have successfully negotiated working capital facilities or term loans it should not be the end of the story. By that we mean that the business person needs to continually focus on what the bank or other financial institution requires, and more importantly, how they view the customer from a control point of view - i.e. are they in control or able to exert control on your business.

The balance sheet must be a top focus for the business owner - once a firm is over leveraged, i.e. borrowing too heavily, the bank generally starts positioning around their overall security or your ability to de-leverage.

Borrowers must be comfortable and knowledgeable about the use of 'triggers '. Triggers are the implied actions the bank or institution will take when things aren't working out. This can include everything from general poor financial performance to very specific pre agreed upon financial ratios. And the business owner must remember that he or she agreed to and concurred with these ratios.

Banks want to see cash flow ' flowing ' - flowing to repay their debt - so there many be triggers put in place by the bank to ensure that minimum cash flow standards are kept, and also that owners and shareholders do not withdraw excess funds.

Over time business owners will probably find, in our experience, that the bank restrictions either tighten up or loosen, depending of course on the overall comfort level the bank has with the firm. Clearly firms that seem temporarily challenged in profits and balance sheet quality will receive much more scrutiny.

Business owners can do some very solid and valuable preparatory work in negotiation of bank triggers. If they have a solid long term history of earnings this should be a very strong negotiating point with the institution. Simply by self introspection of the firm can the owner or financial manager focus on what is going to go wrong re sales, pricing, forex, etc. The owner needs to be able to talk to these issues and show how he could address them.

For a start calculate your own key operating ratios, if they are going to be discussion points with your bank or institution you might as well know your numbers now. Using 'what if 'scenarios help immensely and will position yourself as knowledgeable about your business.

Discussions with your bank need not be absolute and immediate on any time of loan negotiation - you can get a great informal sense of what the bank is thinking and work from that point forward. Try and read between the lines as to what is hot, and what a Vis is not with the bank Vis their perception of your firm, industry, etc.

In summary, business owners need to show maximum flexibility on working capital and loan negotiations. Negotiations should be from strength, accentuating the positive. Example - strong forecast sales and profits and potentially offset a weaker balance sheet. Trade-offs with the bank is also encouraged- and fewer triggers and covenants are better than more! And yes, there is more than one bank in the world, although business owners should be cautioned that shopping around is not optimal at all times, and can in fact backfire, particularly a small business. Business owner beware!

Canadian Film Tax Credit Financing













Film Tax credit financing for film, animation, and digital media productions continues to be a sought after financing by Canadian entrepreneurs.

Canadian entrepreneurs are fortunate in that a number of recent changes have been made to enhance the overall viability of Film and Television credits in Canada.

Using Ontario as an example in March 2010 the government enacted legislation that increased Ontario Computer Animation credits. Therefore financing of such projects simply brings in additional capital. As an example labour expenditures which are qualified and vetted increase to 100% for arms length employees who don't have incorporation status - for example 'freelancers'.

In the animation and visual effects area there was a government focus to remove the requirement that effects had to ' primarily ' be completed with digital technologies.

How can these film tax, TV, and digital media credits be financed. Financing these tax credits is a very boutique business in Canada. Entrepreneurs and their advisors are cautioned and advised to work with credible, experienced specialists in this niche financing area.

The film tax credit financing (as well as animation, TV, etc) is essentially a bridge loan when your production entity has a financing need.. The amount financed can be a combination of federal and provincial claims, and it generally recommended that the total value of our claim be in the $20O,OOO.OO range, which would be a combination of both the federal and provincial portions of your credit.

We meet with many firms who also have needs for other types of financing, which would include separate SR ED (SR&ED) credits, equipment financing, etc. It would sometime make prudent sense to consider a financing that satisfied the complete needs of the company or production.

The hottest new sectors of financing in this area are the popular animation, virtual reality and of course gaming areas of consumer entertainment.

Naturally to be able to finance a claim it must be reviewed and processed by the appropriate tax credit office, for example the Ontario ' OMDC ' tax credits & Financing Programs Dept '.

In our work with clients we advise that it typically takes 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer to finance a tax credit. This process should not be daunting for the entrepreneur or your production company, as it mirrors any other financing business might undertake- for example an application form, due diligence, legal documentation of the financing, etc.

We would point out though that the main emphasis on the financeability of your claim is the actual tax credit itself, as in many cases the product has not 'gone to market 'so to speak.

Financing your film, multimedia, and TV tax credits is a great way to access bridge capital and allow our entity to immediately access funds, as opposed to waiting for funds until post production and commercialization.

Talk to a film tax credit financing expert and you are on the way to a unique method of financing your productions.

Equipment Capital : Financing Options You Didn’t Know You Had











Solved ! The Hardest Problem In Acquiring Business Assets To Grow Your Company


Information on the equipment capital financing options all businesses should consider when acquiring new or used assets to grow their business


Equipment Capital and the financing that’s required to complete asset acquisitions is a large part of the Canadian equipment financing puzzle . Business owners in Canada want to stay ahead of the competition and technology curve – to do that they require computers, machinery, and other assets that can help to grow revenues and profits.

Lease financing is one key method that allows that to happen. At the heart of the equipment capital lease financing solution is the premise that business owners want to use equipment and assets for a specified period of time, while at the same time not wanting to outlay huge amounts of capital and use line of credit facilities that otherwise might be used in day to day working capital facilities .

To put it simply, business owners and financial managers want to use assets, but they don’t necessarily want to pay to own them – and they certainly don’t want to mis – appropriate large amounts of capital as down payments or payment in full for ownership of a depreciating asset.

The hard reality is that equipment capital and lease financing is available to every business in Canada, whether you are a start up or a major Financial Post 100 corporation.

In today’s competitive environment it’s all about staying ahead of the curve, and business owners want to ensure they have the fixed assets in place that will allow them to grow profits and revenues.

Accountants and miscellaneous financial advisors will also tell you about the other benefits of equipment capital financing, which include balance sheet benefits and income statement benefits re taxes, depreciation, etc. Those truly are great benefits, but the bottom line is that when you acquire assets through a leasing you are profiting form use, not ownership, and we advise clients that is a very powerful statement.

All business owners and financial managers know that it’s all about cash flow, and your ability to both save on capital outlay and acquire much needed assets is the key benefit of equipment capital leasing.

When you are well informed about lease financing options in Canada you have the ability to enter into lease contracts which have several other benefits – i.e. you can finance delivery, installation, maintenance, etc. Prudent business owners will match the term of their lease to the expected use of the equipment. For example, why would you buy computers outright, or mistakenly lease them for 5 years, when in fact the reality of computing is that you will replace them every 24 months or so, if not sooner . That’s what lease financing flexibility is about. In many industries prudent business owner’s use lease financing as a roll over strategy – they continually on a regular pre determined basis acquire new assets which are rolled over into a new lease arrangement.

Utilize equipment capital and lease financing wisely – understand your options, and work with a trusted advisor in this area of Canadian business financing. Use asset acquisition as a key strategy to remain both competitive and profitable.
