Sr&ed Tax Credit Financing















The Only Two Things You Need To Know About Sr&ed Finance


Information on sr&ed tax credit financing in Canada . Here's an overview of what you need to know about sred loans and how they maximize the cash flow potential of your refundable r&d capital tax credit




SR&ED Tax Credit Financing
is somewhat misunderstood, or in fact not really considered by many Canadian business owners and financial managers in Canada. We use the word ‘considered ‘simply because many SRED claimants are not aware that their SR&ED claims can be financing as soon as they are filed – in some cases prior to filing!

So let’s return to our topic – what are the two things you need to know about financing your sred tax credit. We’ll keep it simple –

You have to have a Sr&Ed claim to obtain financing for the claim!
A sred financing claim is in fact similar to any business financing application – frankly it’s quite simpler and more focused!


Is that it? Yes, it’s as simple as that. SR&ED tax credit financing is one of the most unique ways to bring valuable cash flow and working capital back into your firm. Just the very nature of sred itself suggests that your firm relies heavily on the credit to recover the capital you have spent under the government’s quite generous non repayable grant.

So let’s return to our point # 1
– to finance a claim, you need a claim. The SRED program in Canada is the governments rebate; in effect it’s a grant, back to Canadian business for any investment you make in research and development. More and more information is coming out everyday from government and private sources which suggest that many firms who are eligible for the program either aren’t aware of it, or even more disappointing, don’t know how to go about preparing and filing a claim. We are often amazed when some clients infer that it’s ‘too much trouble ‘to prepare a sred claim.

A couple of points can be made on this subject. We have met a small handful, and we repeat small handful! Of clients over the years who prepare their own filings. This of course is possible, legal, and in some business owners minds ‘cost effective. The hard reality is that most firms don’t have the technical and financial know how to complete a claim on their own. (Apologies to the firms which successfully prepare a file their own claims – you know who you are!)

The majority of claims in the sred area are prepared by what is known as sred consultants. We tell clients that these consultants are high specialized, are up to date on current government sred and accounting matters, and in most cases work on contingency – meaning that they prepare the claim at their own risk and time, and charge a fee which is totally based on success of the final claim approval. If Canadian business owners and financial managers don’t choose to pay a contingency fee then they can play a flat rate based on the sred consultant’s time on the claim and filing. Naturally more often than not the sred fee has to be paid as soon as the claim is completed, even if you still have to wait several months to a year to get your funds.

More importantly, as it relates to the financing of the sred claim, a claim tends to be more financeable when it is prepared by a reputable consultant in this area. And in fact when you claim is financed, either at time of filing or prior, the sred consultant can also be paid in full or in part out of the financing.

So the bottom line on our point # 1 is simply – make yourself aware of the program if you are not, prepare a solid claim with the use of a reputable consultant, and be knowledgeable that the claim can be financed during preparation or at time of filing .

Let’s move on to point # 2
- Clients ask, is it really that simple to finance a Sr&Ed tax credit. There is only one answer, which is of course yes. You should treat your sred tax credit financing just as any other basic financing. Because this area of Canadian business financing is somewhat of a boutique are you should ensure you are working with a credible, trusted, and experienced advisor in this area.

Let’s cover some of the very simple key basics around the financing of your claim. Most firms are eligible, under the program itself, to receive anywhere from 20-50% of your expenses in the R&D area. Your sred claim will ultimately have a final value, which is made up of the federal and provincial portions combined. Let’s assume its 200,000.00 as an example. You and your accountant have filed your year end financials, and included a sred claim of 200k. What happens now if you want to finance that claim. The reality is that you simply have to fill out a standard business financing application – just as if you were borrowing for any other matter. In our case the ‘collateral ‘, if we can call it that, it’s the sred claim. Important to note hear that you are not incurring debt or creating a ‘ loan ‘ on the sred – Your balance sheet stays intact, you are simply ‘ monetizing ‘ the sred claim in order to generate working capital and cash flow now . Generally you receive approximately 70% of the claim as an advance, with the 30% held back and payable to yourself in full when you final claim is audited, approved, and that cheque from the government is ‘in the mail ‘! The financing feels itself, associated with the tax credit financing are deducted from that final 30% holdback. You can generally create a sred loan for a period of a minimum of 60 days, but most sred financing generally last from 3-12 months, depending on the size of your claim, its eligibility with CRA, and whether you are a first time filer.

So whats our bottom line – it couldn’t be simpler:

- Make yourself aware of this great program – prepare a proper claim with someone who is experienced

- If you are focused on cash flow and working capital needs consider financing your claim and directly monetizing this great program.

SME Business Finance In Canada : The Inventory and Purchase Order Financing Challenge













Purchase Order Financing & Inventory Financing In Canada - A Thing Of The Past? Not Really !!


Information on acccess to inventory financing and po financing for companies in the small to medium enterprise sector in Canada






Inventory and Purchase order financing

are two of the most sought after and challenging financing strategies for Canadian business owners and financial managers. The reality is that if you can ensure you don’t have adequate working capital and cash flow to finance inventory, and of course receivables, your business will be ham strung in respect to your ability to grow sales and profits.

The essence of an inventory financing strategy is to ensure that you have capital and cash flow as part of a revolving facility or loan to purchase inventory from your valued suppliers, and convert that inventory into receivables, cash, and of course profits.

Inventory financing and purchase order financing in Canada comes in various forms. The most traditional form it comes in is of course as a component of your bank operating facility. Canadian chartered banks ‘margin ‘receivables and inventory. The challenge in the global financial climate of 2010 is of course your firm’s ability to negotiate such financing on terms favorable to both yourself and the bank.

In our experiences banks tend to me for focused on lending on receivables, which can easily be converted into cash. The harsh reality is that many banks and lending institutions in Canada don’t understand the true value of your inventory, and quite frankly we think they can be forgiven for that , given the multisided of industries in Canada, as well as the fact that inventory comes in three components .

The three components of inventory are raw materials, work in process, and of course finished goods. The mix or ratio of those three components is going to vary in each firms industry.

Our own experience is that when our clients can generate inventory financing as a part of their overall operating credit strategy is they usually come up with something in the 40% range. That is to say that your bank will advance, at any given time, up to 40% of the inventory that you are carrying at your cost. This tends to be a comfortable buffer for the banks, but in many cases doesn’t provide the cash flow and working capital you need to grow sales and profits. We hasten to add of course that bank operating facilities that include an inventory component are closely tied to the overall financial health and financial perception of your firm.

Are there other solutions for inventory and purchase order financing in Canada .Yes, there are, we can also certainly say they are limited. We suggest you align yourself with a business financing expert who can explain to you those methods, which include a straight separate purchase order or inventory financing facility that is outside of your banking arrangements. In those cases the experienced p.o. and inventory lender will determine a valuation on your particular inventory and lend against that. In most cases this simply involves paying your suppliers up front for your inventory needs, while they collateralize your inventory and the receivables that will flow out of that inventory. This type of financing is expensive, but has to be benchmarked against the possibility of your firm losing sales, contracts, and competitive stance in your marketplace.

At the end of the day Canadian business owners and financial managers have to simply address the following issues:

Is my firm losing valuable sales and contract opportunities to competitors due to our inability to finance and pre pay inventory

Are we prepared to lower our overall gross margin by 2-3% points in favor of increasing sales and profits? Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced business financing advisor in this area : A rational inventory financing strategy can then be developed around those two key points.

Inside the Growing A/R Finance Market - Factoring & Alternative Business Credit Lines


Information on factoring finance in Canada. Receivables financing is a solid alternative to a full business line of credit - Here's why

How does factoring work in Canada, and how your firm benefit does from this type of financing. Also what are the costs of factoring? Let’s discuss those issues.



Canadian firms are challenged in the current environment to deliver the financial performance they need to operate and survive. The global financial woes of 2008-2009, out of which we are now emerging didn’t to anything to help those challenges in a positive manner!



While most business owners rely on banks to get their financing, many firms either are new, don’t qualify, or qualified previously but had financial challenge and are unable to get the financing they need for their working capital accounts, which are of course mainly receivables and inventory.



Canadian business owners want alternatives, and factoring provides one of many alternatives as a working capital source. If anything relying on just one source of financing, such as a bank or other outside lender has proven to be dangerous for many smaller to medium sized firms.



Factoring is the monetization, or in simply layman’s terms, the immediate cash flowing of your accounts receivable. The factoring process allows you to immediately overcome the biggest working capital challenge most businesses have, namely providing payment terms to customers, and seeing those customers even taking longer to pay than your terms!



Factoring puts you back in control of this timeless business challenge. Many of our clients use this type of financing as a bridge to get back to traditional financing, because your bank sees the cash flow coming into your firm on a regular basis.



Also, by providing extended payment terms that you are comfortable with to new or existing customers allows you to maintain a competitive advantage with your customs.



Factoring is the sale of your accounts receivable to a finance factor firm. We encourage all clients to understand the different types of this financing – which are:



recourse factoring

non recourse factoring

insured receivables factoring

non notification factoring



We strongly recommend non notification factoring to clients who qualify because it allows you to bill and collect your own receivables with no notification to your customer based.



Factoring is perceived as expensive, but a true analysis will show you that in many cases you can make money by using factoring. The financing costs associated with this type of cash flow financing can be offset by collecting your receivables faster and allowing you to buy smarter and take supplier discounts. Not to mention improving relations with your supplies.



In summary, factoring is a new great alternative financing vehicle. It works because you receive immediate cash for accounts receivable, allowing you to kick start your business cycle all over again. There are a number of different types of this financing offered in Canada – speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced advisor in this area to maximize the advantages of this cash flow financing .

Equipment Leasing in Canada




Solutions for Commercial Equipment Acquisition


Information on Canadian equipment leasing and financing options. The ability to finance commercial equipment / asset needs is critical to growing your business


Canadian business owners and financial managers quickly realize the benefits of lease financing when it comes to paying for equipment acquisitions. Whether your firm is a start up or an established company many of the benefits of lease financing will apply to your firm. One of those key benefits is simply the fact that you realize that somewhere in the near future you will have to replace that asset, and that is not the time when you wish to have a burdensome asset on your books that you must fully replace with valuable cash and working capital.

In Canada any asset class can be financed, including in some cases even soft costs or non tangible assets. Computer software might be a good example.

Cash flow is what most business owners are most cognizant of, and you quickly realize that paying for the use of an asset over its expected useful life makes much more sense that writing a large cheque for an asset that effectively depreciates the minute you purchase it. As consumers we can relate to that statement when purchasing a vehicle for our selves or our family!

Business owners have the luxury, when lease financing, of strutting a financial vehicle around the ultimate use of the asset – By that we mean you can have a significant say in the rate, term, and type of lease you enter into.

Clients always ask us about the rate in lease financing, as in some cases they have heard that leasing is a more expensive option to a bank loan or outright cash purchase. Textbooks have been written on that whole subject – but let’s try and summarize that whole textbook into a few common sense statements! They are as follows –

Using up bank credit lines for an equipment asset strategy can be a bad decision based on your overall ability to borrow in the future and the covenants the bank lender might place on your company.
Writing a cheque for payment in full of a depreciating asset, and depleting your cash on hand is never a recommended strategy for our clients
If you could match the benefits and the useful economic life of the asset to monthly cash outlays why wouldn’t you take advantage of that option
Many business owners prefer to have multiple sources of business financing – they don’t want all their ‘eggs in one basked ‘so to speak – Wouldn’t your firm want to do that?



Canadian business owners can choose from two types of leases –

Lease to own

Lease to use (commonly called an operating lease)

We recommend that clients view all asset acquisitions as a potential form different financing strategies. Work with a trusted, respected and credible advisor to ensure you understand that the rates, terms and structures reflect your overall credit quality and the type of lease that makes most sense for you Canadian asset acquisition . That’s a solid business financing strategy.

Equipment Financing For Business Capital Asset Needs










What Would Happen To Your Company If You Had All The Assets & Equipment Financing You Needed?





Information on equipment financing in Canada. Having access to capital for equipment loans and leases is critical to long term business success






Canadian business owners and financial managers, difficult times notwithstanding, continue to look for financing for Equipment, and have a strong desire to understand their Canadian equipment capital options.

While trying to achieve the best pricing in their negotiations with vendors business owners at the same time want to know they can preserve their capital, cash flow, and operating capital - lease financing does exactly that.

This type of business financing in Canada is an alternative to a cash purchase or a loan from a Canadian chartered bank. Clearly a win / win scenario is achieved when a business owner can acquire the information he needs, while at the same time achieving a solid financing structure around that acquisition.

Business owners can count on a number of sure fire benefits associated with the lease financing of equipment – those benefits may differ for each firm relative to their importance. However, more often than not they include the following:


Canadian firms want to use assets to generate profits and sales – they don’t want to invest hard earned cash into depreciating assets

If there are tax advantages to an equipment finance transaction they want to utilize or benefit from them

If payments can be structured to suit the overall cash flow needs and working capital of the firm that is a beneficial option

Budgets can often complicate equipment acquisition – business owners in Canada want to know them can circumvent a budget timelines or financing amount with an effective acquisition strategy

Applying for a term or bank loan can takes weeks and months, lease equipment financing can often be approved in a matter of days based on the overall credit quality of your firm and the asset type

Lease equipment financing is complimentary to your current secured lenders or bank operating facilities – they round out your ability to get additional assets and capital


The one thing you don’t want your acquisition needs to do is to restrict your overall cash flow and working capital position. That’s why we recommend you sit down with a trusted, credible, and experience advisor in lease equipment financing in order to assess your overall asset acquisition capabilities, as well as the benefits you can derive from utilizing this financing tool.


The reality is that every type of asset in Canada can be financed, so being for armed with that knowledge can greatly enhance your overall competitive financial position.

Clients often ask us at which point in the business cycle is they eligible for lease equipment financing. Some first are start ups, some are early stage, and in many cases they are mature companies with a growth and track record. The reality is that lease financing applies to all these types of firms.

Quite frankly the true challenge in leasing simply knows what cash flow benefits you can derive from the acquisition. It is important to structure a transaction that matches the appropriate rate, term and overall lease type that you are looking for. There are actually two major lease types, lease to own, called capital leases, and lease for use, more commonly called operating leases.

Investigate financing for equipment options. Work with a credible advisor. Decide which benefits works most for your firm, and structure a transaction that makes sense and maximizes your ability to grow revenues and profits.

Sr&ed Funding And Financing Basics











The Only Sr&ed Funding Guide You Need For Your Sred Loan on Your R&D Tax credit


Information on sr&ed financing in Canada . A sred loan monetizes your r&d tax credit for your cash flow purposes




Although Canada’s Sr&Ed program seems to be going some changes in terms of application and adjudication of your claim the good news is that the ability to finance your SRED (SR&ED) claim is as straightforward as ever. Let’s explore some key basics around what you need to know to finance your claim and get a head start advantage on your ability to reclaim sred funds.

Put very simply, if you have filed a sred claim there are a number of reasons to consider financing that claim for immediate cash. It’s a simple case of staying ahead of the game and monetizing your R&D tax credit now to accelerate working capital.

There is no industry that is unable to finance a sred claim – the program of course covers a wide variety of industries in Canada – many claims we see from clients are in the software and technology area, but virtually every industry has the ability to capture a sred government grant that is of course, non – repayable.

We should state however that sred claims that are prepared by proper technical advisors tend to be easier and quicker to finance – that is simply because with that experience and credibility comes the assurance to your lender that your claim has a high probability of being approved in entirety or for the most part .

That brings us to a critical point around the financing of the sred claim, which is often our client’s most typical starting question – ‘Our Company has a sred claim – how much can we get for it today?” SRED loans typically start out at 70% ltv. Ltv is an acronym of course in finance for loan to value, so we are simply stating that you can immediately borrow and receive in the range of 70% for your sred claim. Naturally that 30% gap still remains with your firm to its credit, it’s simply that you don’t receive sred loans for that remaining 30% which acts as a solid buffer to cover the probability that your claim might be adjusted by Canada Revenue Agency – it also covers off the financing costs.

A popular misconception around sred financing is that it is a loan – that is not the case in the technical manner that we as business owners view loans. A term loan, or short term loan for that matter adds debt to your balance sheet, and you make payments on a loan of course. SR&ED financing of your R&D tax credit is simply the monetizing of your sred claim, with the claim as collateral – so your firm is incurring no additional debt. Also, the beauty of a properly constructed sred financing is that no payments are made for the duration of the financing – The financing costs are netted out against your final cheque that you receive from Ottawa and your province. (SRED funds usually have two components, the federal and the provincial portion.)

Sr&Ed financing is efficient and can happen very quickly – as a business owner you should view the entire process in the same manner as you would any other application for financing – example – leasing some equipment, etc.

The key aspects of a sred application are a copy of your sred claim, a copy of your tax filing that you of course made at the same time as you filed you R&D tax credit, and typical information on your company, i.e. your financial statements . If for some reason you have made the decision to finance that claim after you have had your technical audit you are eligible for even a greater advance that our aforementioned 70%- however typically clients come to us when they have just filed a claim, or in some cases, are in the process of filing.

Financing of your sred loan takes a couple of weeks from start to finish, in our experience. So your strategy to finance your claim and receive cash for it can often be enhanced by planning early, which is always a good thing in any aspect of business finance.

Speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced financial advisor in SR&ED TAX credit finance to determine how easy it is to monetize that claim and turn that non repayable government grant into cash flow that will accelerate your growth and profits.
