Vision

We Understand the Challenges of Building What's Next.

How we work

We make government incentives work for the people pushing industries forward.

Our Principles

Simple Beats Complicated

Innovation is hard. Filing for it shouldn’t be.

Founders Deserve Better

You can’t wait months for answers. Neither do we.

Accessibility

If you're solving hard problems, you shouldn’t need to decode tax law to get funding.

Our Performance

Speed Matters

You can’t wait months for answers. Neither do we.

Results Earned, Not Assumed

We work with trusted consultants who deliver.

Built for Relationships

We don’t just help you once, we build relationships that scale with your innovation.

About us

VTG Partners was founded by entrepreneurs
who saw the same thing over and over:
‍
Smart, technically advanced companies
getting zero access to the
SR&ED funding they were eligible for.

Either they were told they “didn’t qualify,”
or they never even applied.
Too busy, too confused, or too skeptical.

We knew that had to change.

So we built VTG to be different:
‍
Simple enough for first-time founders.
‍
Fast enough for product teams in motion.

Trusted enough for growth-stage operators

SR&ED Misconceptions

Most founders leave money on the table because they’ve been misinformed.

Let’s fix that.

SR&ED Isn’t What You Think It Is.

Myth
“You need to be profitable to claim.”

SR&ED is designed for early-stage and scaling companies  even if you're pre-revenue.

Cash back even with no profits.
Pre-revenue startups claim every year.
SR&ED credits are refundable, not just tax-deductible.
CRA designed SR&ED to fund growth.

Myth
"Only engineers and scientists qualify."

If you’re solving technical problems or building proprietary tech, you might already qualify.

Developers, builders, CTOs, and even operations teams qualify.
The CRA looks for systematic experimentation.
