Receivable Financing

Invoice financing is a way for businesses to borrow against the amounts due from customers.

Receivable Financing

Often the most stressful aspect of operating your business is waiting 30-90 days to get paid for work you have already completed. This cash flow constraint hampers growth and stability.

We can provide the cash flow you need from your existing accounts receivable. There is no need to take on new debt and affect your bottom line or equity stake. We can advance your business up to 80% of the value of your current invoices for as little as 3% per month.

Asset-Backed Lending (ABL)

uCapital realizes that to be successful in today’s fast-paced business environment, reliable access to capital is extremely important. Use your business and even personal assets to secure a Line of Credit from $25,000 to $300,000.

SR&ED Tax Credit Financing

Canadian businesses can claim tax refunds on a variety of operating expenses related to research and development, including payroll, business leases, material costs, and equipment costs.

Many businesses may take advantage of SR&ED financing. Any businesses that need to develop new processes to manufacture or improve upon products or otherwise operate their businesses more efficiently may be eligible for this tax incentive.

The SR&ED Program is administered by the CRA. Companies qualify by demonstrating they are conducting R&D; where the outcome is novel, unique and uncertain.

Generally, a Canadian controlled private corporation ("CCPC") can earn a refundable Investment Tax Credit ("ITC") at the enhanced rate of 35% on qualified SR&ED expenditures, up to a maximum threshold of $3 million in Eligible Expenses. (An "Eligible Expense" is typically the salary of a scientific worker and a proxy currently set at 55% of his or her salary attributed to the SR&ED Program).

Additionally, Provincial Governments offer SR&ED Credits on Eligible Expenses, normally ranging from 10% to 20% with the net result that a typical CCPC involved in high technology development can have 60% of their salaries dedicated to R&D refunded (i.i., $0.60 of each $1 of Eligible Expenses). Companies accrue Eligible Expenses throughout their financial year and thereafter typically take up to 6 months to file their tax return (which includes their claim for SR&ED Credits) and then a further 3-6 months to receive their refund, implying up to 12-months delay to receive a SR&ED Credit refund, thereby necessitating the need by CCPC's to borrow against future receipt of a SR&ED Credit refund.

The SR&ED Program provides more than $3 billion in tax incentives to over 20,000 claimants annually, making it the single largest federal program that supports business research and development in Canada.

More Info

DMTC Financing

A DMTC credit is calculated on eligible salary and wages incurred in the tax year and ranges from 10% to 40% depending on the province. Applicants must conduct development relevant to the interests of the province in which the DMTC credit is being applied for. For example, in British Columbia, the DMTC focuses on the following sectors:

      - Video games
      - Educational software
      - Entertainment products
      - Simulators

The BC Digital Media Tax Credit, which was scheduled to end August 31, 2018 is now extended five years to August 31, 2023.

The qualification process is similar to SR&ED except that companies need to demonstrate their applicability to the inductor sector of interest (i.e., one of the four areas of interest by British Columbia as above). The time period to receive the funding for DMTC credits is identical to SR&ED leading to a similar need for applicants to leverage the receipt of future credits.
