Canadian Tax Credit Financing

Non-dilutive growth capital using your tax credits and government initiatives. Get funded now, not later.

Growth Capital Where It Matters Most

Alliance Financing Group provides non-dilutive financing by utilizing your company's tax credits and government initiatives. Since most government programs have delayed turnaround times, we offer bridge financing that lets you access capital now—without giving up equity.

Our technology-driven platform connects you with specialized lenders who understand Canadian tax credit programs and can advance up to 75% of your expected receivables, allowing you to expand and grow while maintaining full ownership of your business.

How Tax Credit Financing Works

Step 1: Application Review - We review your company and the government program or tax credit you expect to receive (SR&ED, IRAP, grants, etc.).

Step 2: Approval & Advance - Once approved, receive up to 75% of your total expected receivable as immediate working capital.

Step 3: Program Funding - When you receive your government funding, it's used to repay the advance.

Step 4: Growth - Use the capital now to hire talent, expand operations, purchase equipment, or accelerate R&D while waiting for government payments.
