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.

A SR&ED Credit Loan: Financing SR ED Tax Credits Accelerates Your Cash Refund









Financing SR ED (SR&ED) tax credits is the finality of filing a SRED claim in Canada. So the question that remains to be asked is, ' Does it pay to finance your refundable credit under Canada's most popular research refund program? Let's dig in.

 

DOES IT SEEM THAT EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT SRED?

In recent years, the program has been a moving target by the government, whose goal was to maximize and simplify the program for Canadian businesses to achieve the benefits for which the program was originally derived.

 

HERE IS SOME HISTORY AROUND SRED

To understand the benefits of financing your SR&ED credit, it's necessary to step back and understand the origins and intent of the program.    In reality, the program has been around for almost 30 years now. While the program's name is somewhat daunting (‘SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT”), business owners and managers tend to call the program  " S R E D '!

 

IS YOUR CLAIM ELIGIBLE

 

The actual preparation of your claim is very much tied to success in financing your claim. We would maintain it's much easier to finance your refund than prepare it!  It is up to the owner/manager to ensure that the refund claim they prepare is ' eligible ' under Canada Revenue Agency (‘CRA’) guidelines.

 

THE ROLE OF INDUSTRY SR&ED CONSULTANTS

These days probably 99% of all claims are prepared by the folks known as 'SRED consultants ' - these people are typically steeped in either industry or actual program experience, many of whom have worked for CRA in the past. A part of the ' turmoil ' in recent times, some of which has led to financing confusion of claims, relates to how these consultants who prepare claims are compensated. That compensation relates to the contingency fees that have consultants prepared those claims at their own cost, risk and expense.

 

SR&ED CONSULTANTS TEND TO WORK ON CONTINGENCY


That compensation was one of the main reasons the Govt undertook a few years ago to revamp the program fairly. Some previously eligible expenses were cut back; businesses must now identify who is preparing their claim and how they are paid, etc. Additionally, some key aspects of the program - i.e. the ability to claim capital equipment purchases used in research were eliminated.

 

It's pretty clear now that to be successful in financing SR ED tax credits and obtain a SRED credit loan, the quality of your claim is key. Business owners and financial managers using qualified and credible/experienced consultants will continue to benefit from the program.

 

HOW DO SR&ED LOANS WORK

 

That brings us to our key question - recognizing the benefits of the finance of a SR ED refund. That one benefit - Accelerated cash flow. SR&ED tax credits around your claim are typically financed at  70% '  loan to value '- meaning simply that, for example, a 200k refund would provide a loan of  140k. 

 

Loans must, of course, be repaid! But SR&ED financing is done via a bridge loan with no payments required for the loans' duration - another key benefit. When your claim is approved and funded by the govt, you receive the 30% remaining balance immediately, less financing costs.

 

SR&ED CRA  BRIDGE LOANS CAN BE CREATIVELY TAILORED TO YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

 

While the govt was busy re-doing the program a bit, the SR ED financier has also been working - to add even more creative features to the cash flowing of your claim - these include facilities such as a SRED credit line and even the financing of next years claim around those r&d tax credits .. Today!
