What are Easly Advances?
An Easly Advance is our form of grant & ITC financing, provided through our Capital-as-a-Service platform. You’ll receive the accrued portion of your ITC refund or a future portion of your grant funding paid to you on-demand. Easly Advances can range from $25,000 to $25,000,000.
SR&ED Financing
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’s income taxes have 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 using our SR&ED tax credit financing. We also finance other government tax incentives. Connect with us to learn more.
Grant Financing
There are many grant programs facilitated by the government to support business growth in Canada. Eligible companies will receive funding for different initiatives that aim to grow Canada’s economy and elevate the country’s position on the world stage. Easly Advances complement these grant programs by accelerating their funding timelines, allowing businesses to access capital sooner.
Does your company participate in government grant programs? Get in touch with us to see how Easly can help your business access those funds faster.


Powering Innovation Across Canada
The SR&ED tax incentive program and Canadian grant programs are invaluable assets to companies operating in the country. They help ease the burden of investing in projects that may have uncertain returns but are essential to fostering innovation. We complement these programs, making them more accessible to the companies innovating today and building tomorrow.
