If you’re reading this, you’re likely an early stage technology entrepreneur looking to maximize funding to help launch your business to the next level of success?

Unlike debt or equity financing, the Canadian Government supports the development and manufacturing process via the SR&ED Program which distributes over $4 Billion per year in tax credits and cash refunds to companies performing work in Canada. Entrepreneurs who do any work to further their product design, workflow, infrastructure, environmental impact, or IT systems receive significant SR&ED funding each year.

So, are you claiming your refund?

Join Craig Temple, the Founder & Principal SR&ED Hunter at Resonant Consulting, along with Dean Prelazzi from the B.C. Innovation Council for an informal, intimate, unplugged,’BCIC Soundboard’ discussion titled SR&EDs and Pints on January 21st at 2:00pm at the Lion’s Pub. Register here if you’re intersted.

Remember SR&ED Consultants don’t get paid until you receive your refund, so the risk in engaging one is minimal. If you’re thinking about filing a claim, you should definitely attend this seminar and then check out Techvibes’ SR&ED Consultants directory to find a consultant to work on your behalf.
