SR&ED Consulting
Most SR&ED goes wrong in the narrative, not the numbers. CRA isn't asking whether your product is innovative, it's asking what you didn't know and how you went about finding out. We write claims that answer the question being asked.
Process
We sit with your technical lead, not your bookkeeper, and find the work that actually qualifies. If it doesn't clear $100K, we'll tell you.
Written around the technological uncertainty your team was resolving and the systematic investigation they ran, in language CRA reviewers recognise.
Eligible salaries, contractors and materials, with the proxy method applied correctly and defensibly.
Filed with your T2. If CRA reviews it, we handle the review at no extra cost.
Pricing
Beyond SR&ED
SR&ED pays you back for work already done. IRAP and FedDev Ontario can fund the next project before it starts. We prepare and manage the application, priced per project.
The National Research Council’s program for innovative small and medium-sized businesses: advisory support and non-repayable contributions toward R&D and technology projects.
Federal funding for businesses in southern Ontario that are scaling, adopting technology or expanding production, often as interest-free repayable contributions.
Estimate first
Our SR&ED estimator uses published federal and Ontario rates and the proxy method. No email required, no call booked, no follow-up sequence.
Questions
Almost certainly, if you're building something where the outcome wasn't knowable in advance. Software teams resolving scaling, integration or performance problems qualify routinely. The test is technological uncertainty, not novelty to the market.
Below that, the cost of doing the claim properly eats too much of the benefit, and a weak claim invites a review you don't want. We'd rather tell you to wait a year.
A flat 15% success fee on the credit you receive. No retainer, no hidden charges, and nothing to pay if the claim doesn’t come through. IRAP and FedDev Ontario applications are priced per project and quoted upfront.
We handle it at no extra cost. Correspondence, technical defence and the meeting if there is one are all covered by the 15%.
Sometimes. We've had claims approved that a previous firm called ineligible. Bring us the narrative and we'll tell you honestly whether it's salvageable.
Run the estimator, then book a call. We'll tell you in the first conversation whether it's worth filing.
