A SRED Reboot? Maybe , But Not For Your SRED Financing Needs! Finance Your SR&ED Tax Credit Consultant Claims Today

We're all familiar with the good news / bad news phrase. So which do you want first? We're optimists, so let’s go with the good news. SRED financing is alive, well and kicking. We're not sure your SR&ED consultant is as happy and bullish as us these days on the sr&ed consultant outlook as a whole. The reason. Seems the good folks in Ottawa aren’t 100% happy with the program; at least that's our interpretation.



While thousands of firms are still aggressively planning to file claims via their Sr&ed consultant for their non repayable tax credit refund just as many might be wondering if financing that claim is still valid and accessible . The answer - a resounding yes!



Statistics in recent years show that over 20,000 claims annually, if not more are filed by firms just like yours. And as a note from our view in the trenches, all of those firms still view that tax credit claim as a key, if not major source of financing for their firm. It's the private companies in the SME ( small to medium enterprise ) sector that file the majority of those claims .That cash flow, when received allows them to do a number of things, including furthering additional r&d, starting or furthering revenue and marketing , and by virtue of that Sr&ed work maintaining their particular dominance in their niche .



Supposedly the worst news seems to infer that claims will either be reduced in some manner, or eliminated to some and focused on others.



Again, we'll leave that to the experts, pundits, and oh my god the politicians; we'll focus instead on the monetizing of those claims into real cash flow and working capital.



Your SRED financing can take one of two forms in Canada. You can cash flow your claim anytime immediately after you file it, or alternatively (with a bit of a track record behind you) you can finance your claim on an accrual basis.



The accrual concept is becoming increasingly popular as it simple fast tracks cash flow re your R&D spend. In essence you're recovering a portion of your R&D as you spend on it. That’s a solid business premise as most Canadian business owners and financial managers would agree.



SRED finance is agnostic to who prepares your claim, if, and it’s a pretty basic if, your claim is prepared by a bona fide Sr&ed consultant with some level of credentials and expertise. As the majority of sred consultants seem to work on contingency naturally they are in some ways more at risk than your firm, so it’s quite easy via references to find a suitable party to submit your claim. Ironically it seems that the consultants themselves are somewhat under attack in the program, but again, that's hearsay.



The actual financing of your tax credit. Simple, as we stated. We explain to clients that they should view the process as a standard business application that is secured by the tax credit claim itself.



Other key aspects of the Sred financing? The basics are as follows: 70% loan to value funding for your filed claim. Typically no payments are made during the duration of the loan, and final adjustments are made at government finalization, returning to your firm the balance of 30% less financing costs. Accrual financing for your tax credit claim might be funded at a lower loan to value.

I'll just add that if I was going into business for myself and could only have one skill it would be Sales & Marketing. You need to be able to create customers first and foremost. Finance is more of a support function for entrepreneurs.
