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, totaling 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.
