WHAT IS SR&ED FINANCING

Your Tax Credits, Today

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is Canada's largest tax incentive for innovation. If you're a Canadian company investing in R&D, you likely qualify for significant tax credits — sometimes 6-7 figures. But there's a catch: the CRA typically takes 120+ days to process and deliver your refund.

SR&ED financing solves that problem. We provide bridge financing against your approved or pending SR&ED claims, giving you immediate access to capital you've already earned. You get the money now. You repay when the CRA refund arrives. Competitive rates tied to your refund timeline — many facilities carry minimal cost since repayment aligns with your CRA disbursement.

Who Qualifies

Filed SR&ED Claim

You've already filed your SR&ED claim with the CRA and are waiting for assessment and refund.

Pending Claim

You're planning to file an SR&ED claim and need cash now while you await CRA approval and processing.

Any Industry

Software, biotech, manufacturing, aerospace, energy — if you're doing R&D in Canada, you likely qualify.
