Frequently Asked Questions

Venbridge will finance most SR&ED or Digital Media Tax Credit claims. 

For the tax credits that we don’t finance ourselves, we have strategic partners that might be able to provide funding. We’re always happy to facilitate an introduction. 

If you have an annual tax credit refund of less than $130,000, it is too small for us. 

What is the minimum amount you will loan? 

If you have an annual tax credit refund of less than $130,000, it is too small for us. 

Yes. Our goal is to help Canadian companies grow and we view other companies with the same goal as welcomed partners. Our strategic partners include SR&ED consultants, accounting firms, sales agents, trade organizations, other lenders, and venture capital companies. 

Unfortunately, we are unable to finance grants at this time. 

Generally, we do not finance a first-time SR&ED claimant. However, if you have undergone a corporate restructuring, are a spin-off starting out, or have a venture capital investment, we most likely will be able to provide you with financing.

In the unfortunate event your claim is denied, you will still owe the obligations laid out in the term sheet.

We do not provide stand-alone consulting services for SR&ED or any other government tax credit or grants. However, we know a lot about them so feel free to ask us for a bit of advice.

Yes. We have relationships with many SR&ED consultants in Canada. We would be glad to make a recommendation depending on your needs.

No. We review every company on a case-by-case basis and will happily review your application.

Other than a minimum three-month interest period there are no fees or penalties for early repayment or prepayment.
