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.

How To Finance a Canadian SRED ( SR&ED ) claim for Cash Flow










Looking To Stop Inertia On Your SR&ED Claim? Finance It!

Here’s How




OVERVIEW – Information on Sred claim financing in Canada. Your firms ability to monetize your sr&ed refundable tax credit is critical to cash flow success around your r&d capital investment in long term competitive success





Canadian business owners and financial managers who file SR ED ( aka SR&ED , aka SHRED ) claims in Canada are keenly aware that it is one of the true ‘ government grants ‘ that many people are referring to when they are researching the broad topic of government grants and loans .

Funds approved in your SR ED claim are non repayable, and we cannot think of a better program in Canada that both assists Canadian firms in ongoing research and development, as well as allowing Canadian to maintain momentum in new products, processes, and technologies .

Our is certainly not to questions why the government provides such non repayable grants, they simply do, and as a Canadian business owner you want to be able to maximize your claim.

SR ED credits are applied for every year when you file your tax return. Our focus is on ensuring the reader understands that this tax credit filing is the trigger that allows you to, if you choose, to also finance your claim. These claims are not traditionally financed by Canadian banks, as the banks we feel probably aren’t fully comfortable with the collateral. Most Canadian business owners also know that there is some risk involved in having your claim cut back a bit after it is reviewed by the appropriate department in Ottawa that hands SR ED claims.

If you wish to finance a Sr Ed claim it is important that you follow a much defined process. Let’s review that process and provide you with some additional tips and information on how the claim is financed and what benefits might come out of the cash flowing of your claim.

There exists in Canada a small boutique market in SR ED financing. Given the unique and specialized nature of this financing we strongly recommend that you work with a trusted, experienced and credible advisor in this area of Canadian financing. That will allow you to maximize the size of the financing we believe, but probably more importantly speed up the process.

When clients ask us how long it takes to finance a claim we generally advise on 2 to 3 weeks, assuming the full co operation of your firm in the usual back up to such a transaction with of course includes:

Application to Finance Sred
Related back up to the application – i.e. financial statements, etc
Copy of the SR ED (SR&ED) claim itself
Copies of prior year claims that were approved, if applicable

It’s basically as simple as that.

‘What amount of funds can we receive for our claim?’ That also is probably questions number two from clients – and the answer is that claims are generally financed at 70% loan to value, which means simply that for every $ 100,000.00 of claim you should expect to receive 70,000.00$.

SR ED financing is structured to your firm’s benefit – that is that they are loans that have no payment during the term of the loan. The term of the loan is of course as simply as long as Ottawa takes to process your claim. Various factors are involved in the timing – we can generally say it takes anywhere from two to twelve months to process your final refund cheque from Ottawa. At that time the other 30% of the claim is returned back to you by the SR ED financier, less the financing cost, or the ‘total time to carry the loan’

So in summary, you can of course wait from 3-12 months for your refund cheque for your sred claim, but why not consider putting that working capital and cash flow to work now. In reality all you are doing is collecting a receivable (the s red claim) faster than waiting for a long period of time. Put that money to work into more R&D to stay competitive in your industry, reduce your payables, or invest in additional marketing or machinery.

Take advantage of SR ED financing to inject immediate cash flow into your company. Talk to a SR ED finance advisor today!
