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.

YOUR GUIDE TO SR&ED FINANCING - ACCESSING CAPITAL AND ACCELERATING CASH FLOW!

 

SRED tax credit finance loans eliminate the pain of... waiting... for your refundable tax credit under Canada's Scientific Research & Experimental Research program.

 

AVOID THE PITFALL OF  GOVERNMENT R&D FUNDING ... WAITING!

 

SR ED financing can quickly and efficiently complete the cycle in your firm's R&D strategy. Let's dig in on an essential sr&ed guide.

 

WHAT IS THE SR&ED PROGRAM? YOUR SR&ED GUIDE

 

The Canadian SR&ED program (SR&ED Scientific Research and Experimental Development )  is categorically one of the most solid initiatives in helping the private sector finance economic growth.  Given that in recent years the program has been scaled back a bit (less % credits = less refund cheque), the ability to maximize and monetize the total benefit of the program is key to better r&d cash management.

 

SRED IS A COMBINATION OF FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL FUNDS

 

Remember also that the program is a combination of cooperation from both federal and provincial governments, depending on which province your firm originates. SR ED financing, by the way, finances both parts of the claim at the same time - federal and provincial.

 

WHAT IS A ' SR&ED CONSULTANT?

 

It goes without saying that your claim's actual quality is key in both initial approvals under the program and one consideration in financing approval. While the smallest percentage of firms still prepare their own claims (and in many cases are successful), the vast majority of refund claims are prepared by qualified independent SR& ED consultants. They may be associated with the large C.A. / Accounting firms for sr&ed credits accounting treatment, or are simply independent contractors in many cases. 

 

While in the past, these consultants were ' behind the scenes, 'they are now clearly upfront, including being identified on your claim, as well as having to state their remuneration on claims preparation.  (The majority of SR ED consultants prepare the sr ed  claim  on ' contingency '  - at their expense and time, choosing to take a % of the successful claim as their ' fee.' Their work in documenting your ' scientific or technological uncertainty ' is invaluable to businesses performing r&d for the investment tax credit sr ed refund.

 

 

LET 7 PARK AVENUE FINANCIAL  DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF CASH FLOW FINANCING YOUR SRED CLAIM 

 

Since SRED Tax Credit Finance Loans are in effect short-term bridge loans, it makes total sense for business owners/managers to ensure their claim has taken advantage of govt offerings such as ' per claim ' approval. Naturally, any claim of good quality that doesn't even necessitate an audit is a good thing.  Suffice to say; the govt is on record as saying that claims they consider ' high risk ' will be audited and scrutinized with more vigour.

 

Let's get back to basics - i.e. the financing of your claim. It's possible to receive financing approval in a matter of days based on a simple application process that identifies your firm, its business, a copy of your claim, and details on who prepared it.

 

YOU CAN PRE-FUND NEXT YEARS CLAIM FOR YOUR CRA TAX CREDITS

 

Business owners/managers always seem open to some good news - in the case of SR ED financing, it's good to know that claims can be financed even before final filing... and if that wasn't enough, next year's claim financing could commence almost immediately. That’s cash flow acceleration 101 under the sr ed claim process!

 

SR&ED LOANS ARE SHORT-TERM AND HAVE NO SET REPAYMENT

 

SR&ED loans are structured as short-term bridge loans - your company makes no payments for the loan duration. Loan advances are typically 75% of the total amount of your combined federal and provincial claim.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY - SR&ED FINANCING

 

Canadian businesses performing r&d can leverage financing that is non-dilutive in nature for refunds for refundable tax credits as well as grants.

Funding for an sr ed loan is fast and efficient and funding can be on completion and filing of a claim, or on a pre-filing advance funding basis. This helps smooth out the ' cash flow lumpiness ' in many early-stage and pre-revenue businesses engaging in r&d.

Funding sr&ed does not dilute owner equity and is cheaper than almost all other forms of alternative financing.

 

 
CONCLUSION - LET SR&ED FINANCING ALLOW YOU TO CAPITALIZE ON THE INVESTMENT  TAX PROGRAM FOR YOUR R&D 

 

Tax credits for research and development spending are a valuable part of any business that invests in r&d.

FAQ:FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  / PEOPLE ALSO ASK / MORE INFORMATION

 

  

What is SRED financing?  

 

SR&ED tax credit financing is a financing solution that allows a company to access funding for the r&d sr&ed credit when the claim is filed with the Canada Revenue Agency/CRA, or, if the company chooses, in advance of filing the claim as the company accrues and documents its r&d  under the sr&ed program offered by the federal and provincial government. Sr&ed L loans are short-term bridge loans, a type of ' innovation funding ', collateralized by the actual sred refund - Financing options include advance funding for claims not yet filed but accrued. The loan application process is very quick and usually takes only a few weeks from initial submission to funding. 

 

 

 

What are the SR&ED tax incentives?

 

SR&ED tax incentives are government investment tax credits under a refundable tax credit which allows a company to conduct research and development in Canada -  The tax incentive is in the form of a tax credit via a cash refund or in some cases a deduction against income. R&D Tax credits can be claimed by privately owned corporations or individuals.

 

 

What can be claimed on SRED? 

 
 
Allowable expenditures for sr&ed in Canada include salaries and wages incurred under the research, as well as eligible deductions for materials and applicable overhead and third-party payments to contractors relative to the research - Companies must supply copies of supporting information that backs up the expenditures - Many businesses utilize third-party sr&ed consultants specializing in the preparation of valid claims which helps with risk mitigation around the success of a claim submission as well as potential help under an audit defence.
