Risk Analysis for SR&ED Funding
What if you want to finance your SR&ED refund? We can help. We are often asked by lending groups to provide a risk analysis of SR&ED applications (either pre- or post-submission).
This fixed-fee option can help you identify areas of risk and either address them or prepare to mitigate them.

What is innovation?
The Oslo Manual for measuring innovation defines four types of innovation:
Product innovation: A good or service that is new or significantly improved. This includes significant improvements in technical specifications, components and materials, software in the product, user-friendliness or other functional characteristics.
Process innovation: A new or significantly improved production or delivery method. This includes significant changes in techniques, equipment and/or software.
Marketing innovation: A new marketing method involving significant changes in product design or packaging, product placement, product promotion or pricing.
Organizational innovation: A new organizational method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations
What is SR&ED?
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentive program is a federal tax incentive program designed to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development (R&D) in Canada.
Each year, the SR&ED program provides over $3 billion in tax incentives to over 20,000 claimants. Of these, about 75% are small businesses.
Many businesses confuse innovation with SR&ED – but the policies that govern SR&ED are very strict and don’t necessarily align with the common usage of the term.
