What is SR&ED Financing?
SR&ED financing can give your business the opportunity to access 75 percent of your SR&ED refund in the form of an advanced loan.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) graciously awards these tax incentives to over 20,000 claimants yearly, totalling more than $3 billion. Processing times with the CRA can take up to 18 months, potentially putting your project at a halt and becoming detrimental to your team’s momentum and success.
At Easly, we understand your business can’t afford to play the waiting game. If your company has been approved for the CRA SR&ED tax credit, we can provide the working capital you need for your R&D project. Keep control of your business by giving your cash flow a boost without giving up equity. Your first advance can be received in as little as two weeks.
Powering Innovation Across Canada
The SR&ED tax incentive program is an invaluable asset to Canadian companies like yours. It helps ease the burden of investing in projects that may have uncertain returns but are essential to fostering innovation. We complement this program, making it more actionable and accessible to the companies innovating today and building tomorrow.

"Easly provided a fast and easy solution for our financing needs. Quarterly SR&ED draws are working for us."
Patricia Macleod · CEO & Cofounder, LearningBranch Inc.
"Easly has been very good to us. They give us financial options at a rate and frequency that small technology companies absolutely need. I appreciate the online process a lot - being able to just upload financial documents is really, really convenient. We now use Easly quarterly draws as part of our financial model. It's not about survival; it's about strategy."
Dom Kwong · CTO & Cofounder, Damon Motorcycles
"The financing that Easly offers is very cost-effective from a purely opportunity cost of capital point of view. It's a very low-cost way for a small tech company to grow and sustain operations."
Hassaan Ahmad · CFO, WTFast
"I've spoken to many companies that promised quick turnarounds for approvals & funding. All of them either missed that target by weeks or came back with a ridiculous offer we could never accept. Easly was true to their word and responded quickly with a competitive offer that met our needs. The whole process was refreshing and surprisingly streamlined!"
Jaed Khan · CEO, Foodmaestro
"SR&ED is a great program, but it can take a long time to get the funds. We wanted an option that would make things more reliable so that we could count on funds coming in when expected. Easly does just that for us."
Caitlin Krapf · VP, HR & Organizational Development, Province Brands
"Easly is a customer-focused organization. The process was efficient and focused on the parts that matter, as opposed to the red tape, and delivered above and beyond our expectations. They proved to us that they are the best source of R&D financing on the market."
Sean McCann · President, MMIST Inc.
"Easly played a critical role in our ability to keep the company's finances healthy. Their funds helped bridge us from survival to product-market fit, and it's difficult to envision us having the success we're seeing today without Easly. They're definitely our first call if we choose to go down the R&D financing path again."
Martin Kratky-Katz · CEO, Blockthrough
"We initially went with Easly because they had the most competitive rates by far. Even more compelling though ended up being the transparent and streamlined process that just made sense. The communication was smooth and I always felt certain about the outcome. I’d recommend them to anyone planning to file for an SR&ED refund."
Tristan Lehari · CEO, TritonWear
