Financing Your SR&ED Credits Promptly and Successfully Is A Thing To Behold !

Information on how finance SR&ED credits for working capital . Understanding the benefits of financing SR ED to accelerate recovery of your r&d capital investments

Canadian business owners and financial managers should consider financing sr&ed credits as a source of working capital and cash flow. It is a unique and alternative financing strategy that monetizes your Sr&Ed tax credit, and has no long term effects of adding debt to your balance sheet. All you are doing is simply ‘cash flowing’ or receiving your refund now instead of waiting for a potentially long time for your government refund cheque.

Business owners who file claims under the program already are keenly aware of the power of this great Canadian government program. Hundreds of Millions of dollars are refunding annually to your firm and your competitors – why not get a step ahead of the competition and turn that SR ED credit into immediate working capital.

Naturally the amount of your sred financing is related very directly to the total amount of your filed SR ED claim. Therefore it is in the best interests of every Canadian business owner who files under the program to maximize the size of their claim. They do that by working with a solid accountant or sred consultant who understands the true nature of the program. It is a misnomer that your research and development must be ‘successful ‘in the true sense of the word. The reality is that a proper sred claim is often increased simply by proving that you had significant trial and error in those business processes and research that you are documenting.

Anyway, you are aware of the program; you have filed a claim, or are in the process of filing a claim. What now? Consider financing the claim and turning your refund into immediate cash. Clients we work worthy with typically utilize funds in a SR ED financing to reduce payables, invest in additional research, buy equipment, or focus on investing in more direct marketing and sales The bottom line is that when you finance you SR&ED claim funds can be used for any worthwhile corporate purpose .

How does SR ED funding work? It’s really complimentary to any type of business financing you have ever done. You are not taking on debt; you are simply converting a receivable, i.e. your SR&ED credit, into cash. The best and most easy way to think of a sred financing is simply that you are factoring or discounting your claim. The funds will be repaid to the SR ED lender when you claim is approved by the government and your provincial government. (There is a Federal and Provincial component to each Sr&Ed claim)

You can access approximately 70% of the total claim you have filed. If the claim has already been approved by Ottawa and you are just waiting for the confirmed refund the 70% loan to value we just referred to can even be increased in many cases.

Even more sophisticated firms that finance their SR ED claims annually are not aware that under the right circumstances they can receive funds even prior to filing! That process is called a Sr&Ed accrual loan. That’s really staying one step ahead of the competition!

Financing SRED claims in Canada is a boutique financing. You accomplish it successfully when you work with a trusted, credible and experienced financing advisor re sred claims. The process involves a simply business financing application, copies of your sred filing, and miscellaneous business back up material to substantiate the sred loan. The total focus of the loan relies heavily on the actual claim itself, not the overall credit worthiness of your claim, as some might believe.

If you are filing sred you can stay ahead of the competition by considering of financing your claim. It’s a simple process that can be completed in a couple of weeks with your full co operation of back up info, etc. Your sred claim is already not repayable to the government, as it’s a grant, so consider supercharging that program by immediately monetizing your claim in valuable cash flow and working capital.

SR ED Research Tax Credit Loan Financing - SR&ED Loans Eliminate Waiting Pain !

Information on SRED Research Tax Credit Loan Financing In Canada

Without SR&ED tax credit financing you are often an ' unwilling participant ' in the SR ED refund waiting game. That's not a game you wish to be a contestant on! So what if your SR &ED Research Tax Credit Grant could be financed for funding today via a SRED Loan? Let's dig in!

Industry pundits in Canada's Sr&ed program are quick to point out that the combination of waiting time, client appeals, and even the whole audit process has put a certain amount of delay in the issuance of refunds.

Clients we talk to work hard to document their claim and address any questions and issues arising out of review of their claims. They're focused on spending r&d capital, and recouping as much of those funds as they can!

Naturally that additional burden around the waiting time significantly affects the cash flow and working capital positions of many firms, many of who are start up and early stage firms focused on growing their business.

If your company is filing what is known as Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Credits, (SR & ED) your firm has expended significant funds on developing or improving products, processes, etc. Receiving that cheque from Ottawa is of course always a great thing, but why wait?

One of the smartest things you can do is to consider the financing of your claim - that can be done via a short term sred loan - we could almost call it a bridge financing loan for your sred claim.

Why is that a good strategy? Well , one main reason might be that since the tax credit is in the form of a non repayable grant then receiving funding for it today , ( rather than several months or a year from now ) allow you to put that money back to work into your business . That valuable cash, which you have already spent, can be re directed to general working capital, further re investment in r&d, reduction of payables, investments in new equipment, well you get it, for an general worthwhile corporate purpose .


When financing a SR and ED claim the lender pays careful attention to who prepared the claim for your firm. This is typically via what the industry calls SRED consultants who typically has expertise in one or a variety of industries, including such areas as computer science, technology, physics, chemistry, manufacturing, etc.

SR ED claims can be financed whether your claim is a first time claim, but the process often goes quicker and easier if you have filed successfully in the past. Our point is simply that you should not be deterred if in fact you are filing for the first time - however as a cautionary note you should note that more focus will probably be paid to the overall quality of the claim and who prepared it for your firm. You can actually claim for a 2 year period, i.e. your current year and the previous fiscal year.

Clearly most business owners and financial managers who utilize the program recognize the tremendous benefit of increasing your overall return on R&D by filing a claim and recapturing your funds. And if you can utilize those funds sooner rather than later, why not consider financing, or in effect monetizing the claim.

Financing your SR and ED claim can of course assist in your overall cash flow and working capital position. Claims are generally financed at 70% of their filed value, that allows a 30% buffer in case adjustments are made to the claim , and , guess what, you make no payments on the sr ed loan . Funds you receive are netted out against the final cheque from Ottawa and your provincial jurisdiction when your claim is ultimately audited, approved, and funded.

Clients often ask how complex a sred loan is, and what the timing is to receive funds. With your full co operation funding can usually be done within a couple weeks of your application, and the reality is the sred funding is no different than any other business financing your might entertain. It's that simply, you complete a standard business application, and at the same time provide details of your sr Ed claim which in effect is the collateral for the financing.

Your firm takes on no debt when it comes to SR&ED tax credit financing - you're simply monetizing a receivable, i.e. your refund claim.
Speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced advisor in sred loans, and determine the advantages of monetizing your sred claim into valuable cash flow and working capital.

Tax Credit Financing In Canada: Refundable Tax Credit SR&ED Loans & SRED Funding Delivers On The Cash Promise

Can SR&ED Tax Credit Financing Make Your R&D Journey Happier ?

We Think So And Here's Why

Information on tax credit financing in Canada. SR&ED loans can play a valuable part in refundable tax credit finance . Here's information on why businesses committed to R&D Capital Investment should consider SRED Funding

Not everyone Canadian business owner or financial manager takes advantage of the Canadian Governments SR & ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development) tax credit program. It's clearly in our opinion of the best and truly legitimate and valuable programs that a government provides for its business entrepreneurs in Canada.

Many, when they hear of the program for the first, are amazed that they can receive significant funds, that are non - repayable (yes that's non -repayable!) for their ongoing investment in research, product development, business processes, etc.

And, those that do take advantage of the program dutifully wait many months, in some cases a year or so or more for their cheques from the provincial and federal government.

Why not borrow against these funds and utilize those funds for much needed working capital and cash flow to further fuel the growth of your firm.

SR & ED financing is still relatively unknown in Canada - it is clearly a very specialized type of financing, somewhat 'boutique' let us say, in nature.

The government, via the program, wants to provide funds to Canadian business so they can continue to further their research and development and provide Canadian firms with a lead in technology and business.

So lets get back to the financing of the SR ED, aka ' SHRED ', aka 'SR &ED'. SR ED Loans are typically for approximately 70% of your combined federal and provincial claim. The claim can be financed as soon as you have formally filed the claim with the government, which is at the same time you do your year end tax filing.

SR ED applications can be filed for the last two years, so on occasion your firm might in fact have a significant receivable generated by virtue of that filing you have done. Our observation is that some companies actually book that receivable in their financial statements for the full amount of the claim. Some companies take the conservative approach and only record the cash coming in when it is received from the government.

So, you as a business owner or financial manager of a Canadian company are asking yourself the obviously - if I book the SR ED as an account receivable, will my bank provide financing for it. Our experience is generally 'no 'they will not. Canadian chartered banks, being somewhat more conservative in nature, recognize the SR ED claim may or may not be approved. So if there is any risk in your financial structure as viewed by the bank they will not advance funds.

The private sector of Canadian finance is in fact doing the SR ED financing. Claims are financed on the basis of your firms overall financial status, although we add that even pre revenue companies or companies that are losing money can still obtain SR ED financing.

Every Canadian firm that files a SR ED claim should consider financing the claim if they feel the additional cash flow and working capital will assist their company in continued growth and success. Talk to an expert and use this alternative financing as a great way to boost cash flow.
