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.

Have CRA Sred R & D Tax Credits ? Finance Yours Today For Advantages Of Cash Flow !










Finance Your Sred r & d tax credits If You Need To!



OVERVIEW – Information on CRA Sred r & d Tax Credits . These claims can be financed and allow your firm to take advantages of cash flow and working capital in an effective manner based on your non repayable tax credit refund . Sr&ed financing works !






R&D Sred Credits raise the question: Maximize or minimize? What's best in Canadian business? In the case of taxes it's minimize! In the case of CRA Sred R&D tax credits it's maximize for advantages of cash flow! Let's dig in.

How could you not afford to file a sr&Ed claim for the R & D capital your firm invests in its innovative products and services? We are of course talking about the Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credit program which provides refundable funds for a very significant portion of the funds your Canadian business spends every year in this key area the economy - i.e. the competitive edge area!

Getting back to our maximize or minimize issue, recent figure suggest that almost 3 Billion $ + (yes that's billion with a b!) of cheques are going out every year to Canadian businesses such as yours. As we have said in the past, we are pretty sure you want those cheques to be cashed by your firm and not your competitor, since the funds don't have to be paid back.

Let’s assume you are aware of the program, (many aren't) and let’s further assume you are using the program either on a first time basis, or, if you're very lucky, you're a repeat offender!

You therefore should be aware that your claims can be financed so you can take advantage of cash flow and working capital that would be beneficial to your firm today.

Many Sred consultants (they are the specialized firms that prepare these claims) tell us that a proper preparation of your claim can exceed your initial estimates of what you can received by a significant per cent age.

So you ability to create CRA SRED R & D tax credits that are of solid quality , file the claim, and then finance it for working capital simply accelerates all the benefits of the program .

Do you have to finance your claim? Naturally the answer is definitely not, but we certainly think you should consider it. Why? Think of your claim as simply an account receivable, which of course it is. It's just that it's a very high quality receivable because it is a non repayable cheque that's due your firm from the federal and provincial government.

So in considering financing the claim you can of course simply wait for your cheque , or you can monetize, or 'factor' , or ' discount ' the claim . (All those terms are interchangeable and mean the same thing.)

Are CRA SRED R&D tax credits difficult to finance if you want the advantages of cash flow. Well, consider we a bit biased but we don't think so, it's a simple business financing application, with the additional back up being your Sred claim and the required ability for your firm to be able to offer the tax credit up as collateral.

Speak to an experienced, trusted, and credible Canadian business financing advisor today to get more info on either the program itself of the financing of those R &D tax credits.

Financing SR ED Canada Program Claims : SR ED CRA Loans Accelerate R & D Cash Flow









Just Say ‘ No ‘ To Waiting For Your SR&ED Refundable Tax Credit – Finance Your Claim!







OVERVIEW – Information on financing SR ED ( SR&ED) Canada program claims for the refundable SRED CRA tax credit . The ability to finance a claim accelerates recovery of R&D Expenses




Financing SR & ED Canada program claims
in Canada comes with issues that can either slow down your claim or speed it up. Knowing what works and what doesn't in SRED CRA finance goes a long way towards a successful acceleration of R&D cash flow. Let's dig in.

As we've said numerous obstacles exist in the SR&ED program that can hamper your ability to recover funds quickly. Having said that doing certain things right can have the opposite effect - reversing the R and D cash flow drain.

Recent changes in the last couple years really leveled the playing field when it comes to the SR ED refundable tax credit.

Business owners certainly have the option of preparing their claim themselves - in fact who better understands what they are trying to achieve in research and development than the business owner/manager themselves.

Yet as in any ' government' program that has some complexity attached to it sometimes some experience is helpful. Enter the SRED consultant - someone who prepares and helps file your claim. They are compensated on a strict ' fee ' basis, and in the majority of cases they work on a ' contingency basis ‘, taking a per cent age of the total amount recovered under the refundable tax credit program.

The quality of your consultant vis a vis credibility and expertise play a key role in the financing of your claim. While the industry seems to have eliminated the ' bad actors ' the key point here is that a reputable consultant maximizes your claim and adds credibility to the CRA validation process around your claim - which in fact may include an audit and meeting with the CRA rep.

Preparing your claim yourself of course saves you a ton of money - at the same time it also raises a flag to CRA that your claim has potential to be ' non compliant ' to the rules of the program .

We would add that even the large BIG 4 accounting firms in Canada all have active SR & ED practices.

The financing of your SRED CRA claim takes into account who prepared your claim, as well as any previous claim history you have. By the way, financing on first time claimants is 100% ok. Here it might help if you take advantage of the governments ' formal pre approval ' process.

What government program isn’t associated with paperwork?!
While that might be a ' myth vs. reality ' statement the fact is that the govt has tried to streamline the program re online application, initial screening to ensure validity, etc

While we can go round and round on the merits of a good claim and who prepares it and how at the end of the day its simply ensuring your claim is ' eligible ' and that you have the ' documentation' to back it up.

As far as we're concerned financing a claim is easier than writing one up. Claims are financed in a unique manner - they are financed as ' bridge loans ' - providing you with funds for up to 70% of the combined value of your claim. No payments are made during the loan duration and you receive the balance of funds when your claim is approved, less financing costs that are mezzanine rates in nature.

Credible firms with good claims can also take advantage or financing such as a SR&ED line of credit being put in place - as well your next claim can start being financed now for qualified firms.

While playing the waiting game might pay off in some forms of business it doesn't when it comes to waiting for govt cash , so seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business Financing Advisor with a track record of success
who can help you cash flow your claim .. today!
