FINANCING SR&ED CLAIMS FOR CASH FLOW - SRED LOANS SRED FUNDING REFUNDABLE CREDITS
The ability of your company to utilize your refundable tax credits to grow businesses is a key aspect of sred finance. Companies large and small, new and established, can utilize this type of ' bridge loan.' Accessing cash under your claim without having to wait for processing and audits of your claim is a key benefit of the program.
The easiest way to view your tax credit is by looking at it as an account receivable from the government. You are simply cash-flowing your tax credit via a funding facility that works -naturally, those funds can be used for any general corporate purpose. The loan is retired when the Canada Revenue Agency refunds your claim, and no payments on the loan are made until the government processes your claim - financing costs accrue.
Cash flow from SR&ED credit factoring (i.e. monetizing your claim) means different things to different types of firms. Many ' startups' we work with use sr&ed financing in some cases as their most critical source of cash during their early development. Other firms, of course, simply take advantage of the program for reasons as simple as cash flow mgmt.
Not everyone knows that even publicly traded companies can actually benefit from a refundable tax credit for the provincial portion of their claim - those claims are 100% financeable! That's why sr&ed credits are a valuable form of cash flow.

How then does the SRED Funding work? It certainly helps to ensure that your claim follows the proper admin and filing guidelines under the program. Qualified SR ED consultants prepare the vast majority of claims under a formula for sr&ed tax credit calculation.
Aligning yourself with a reputable consultant allows you to help ensure the integrity of your claim. Most of these folks work on contingency, so their work and reputation are at risk also, as well as minimizing your upfront investment in claim prep and filing.
QUALIFYING FOR SRED LOANS VIA YOUR SR ED TAX CREDIT
Tax credit loans for SRED are funded at 75% of the total value of the claim, and no monthly payments are made during the duration of the loan, which is usually sometime within a 12-month period. The entire loan funding process can usually happen within a couple of weeks -from start to finish.
If your firm receives or will be receiving a refundable tax credit from Canada Revenue Agency, you are, in fact, eligible to finance your claim. The collateral for the loan is your SRED claim- simple as that!
Many companies that utilize the SRED funding program are early-stage and growing companies that need the cash flow that originates out of a claim.
IS SRED A GOVERNMENT GRANT?
SR&ED is not a grant per se - The Canadian governent Scientific Research and Experimental Development program is actually the largest program withing the government to support and incentivise Canadian r&d.
FINANCING GRANTS IN CANADA
Many Canadian businesses take advantage of government grants to help their business - Key areas of a business that include operations, sales, and staff expansion can be grant eligible under certain programs. Grants can be time-consuming to access but they are also an entrepreneur's dream.
Grants are financeable as well and are not loans, they do not have to be paid back. Businesses must ensure they are eligible for a specific grant as well as properly submit a proper application or in some cases an interview process. In certain cases grant income might be taxable though, even though it is ' gifted ' so an accountant should be consulted in this regard.
At 7 Park Avenue Financial, we recommend clients submit thorough applications and many entrepreneurs choose to hire a ' grant writer ' experienced in the appropriate kind of knowledge and information the government is looking for to approve a grant. In some cases, a business plan might be appropriate to accompany the grant.
