What is SR&ED Debt Finance?
It’s a process whereby businesses have an opportunity to access their future SR&ED refundable tax credit in advance as a loan.
The SR&ED credit is treated as a future receivable and businesses are provided with a receivables funding facility (a loan). Businesses can draw down on this facility as and when they need for general working capital within their business.
This loan is then repaid from the CRA’s SR&ED refund.

What our clients say.
“We hit our first big enterprise customer and literally doubled the size of the business in the months that we got this funding. Almost overnight. I think without the funding, those metrics wouldn’t have been possible.
What I love about Fundsquire is that you guys are of startups and for startups. It was great meeting you guys, working with you, and hanging out with you as well.
You’re one of us. And that’s super important.”
Joe Cripps, CEO – TrailApp
“Some other providers of SR&ED financing had aggressive terms and conditions. Fundsquire was reasonable, responsive, and competitive in their offer … they were easy to deal with and professional in their approach.”
John Stonier – Founder and CFO, Velometro Mobility Inc.
“Fundsquire provided bridging capital secured against our future R&D Tax Credits claim. This lengthened our runway, giving us time to focus on completing our Series A under the right terms for Advizzo.
The Fundsquire lending process was simple, affordable, and fast.”
Patrice Guillouzic – CEO, Advizzo
“We’ve now had 2 years of R&D Tax Credits Funding with Fundsquire.
