Startups live and breathe uncertainty .
But here’s what most founders don’t realize:
Every experiment, every failed prototype, every iteration is potential SR&ED fuel, and it could put real money back into your runway.
Startups:
That’s exactly what SR&ED was built to reward.
In fact, early-stage companies often outperform larger corporations when it comes to maximizing credit.
Still pre-revenue?
It doesn't matter.
SR&ED credits are based on technical advancement, not commercial sales.
Even if your launch is years away, you could be eligible for a refundable credit — meaning real cash, not just tax deductions.
Waiting until your company grows bigger is a costly mistake.
SR&ED claims have strict filing deadlines.
Each year you delay could permanently erase thousands of dollars you’re already eligible to claim.
You can even claim year after year, stacking your refunds over time.
You’re already building the future.
Make sure you’re getting rewarded for it.
