How to Leverage SR&ED & Grants to Extend Your Runway
Many founders don’t realize the Canadian government offers cash refunds for businesses that worked on building or improving products, software, or processes.
This program is called SR&ED (Scientific Research & Experimental Development).
In simple terms:
If your business tried to solve technical problems or build something new, even if it didn’t fully work, you may qualify for money back.
This includes work such as:
Software or app development
Product design and testing
Engineering or technical problem-solving
Prototypes and experiments
Improving internal systems or processes
In this free webinar, we’ll explain:
What SR&ED really is (in plain English)
Who qualifies and who doesn’t
What business expenses you can claim
Common mistakes founders make
