Easly

Our mission is to provide funding that suits the needs of Canada’s innovative companies: simple, predictable, non-dilutive capital, delivered on an on-going basis. We partner with Canadian companies of all sizes and types, providing advances on Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) refunds up to 15 months before they file for the SR&ED tax credit.

We facilitate growth through non-dilutive financing, regardless of a company’s size. Each year, 20,000 claimants access $3 billion worth of tax incentives provided by the SR&ED program, and about 75% of those are small businesses. We aim to help all of those businesses accelerate their growth while retaining the equity they’ve worked so hard to build.

Our online application process is streamlined, which means your business could be approved in as little as 2 weeks and funding can begin shortly thereafter. The application requires a minimal time commitment from you, allowing you to focus on your company’s goals and innovative projects. We are here to provide the working capital you need to fund the future of your company. With our Capital-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform, you can access your SR&ED refund when you need it most.

Easly is wholly owned and privately held by an award-winning U.S. company. Since 2019, we have financed over $36 million in SR&ED claims that have fueled innovation in Canada. We focus exclusively on SR&ED tax credit financing, allowing us to align our products with the government’s tax incentive program’s details. This customized approach mitigates our risks and allows us to offer more affordable capital to our customers. Even more importantly, our non-dilutive financing means you can gain advanced R&D funding while retaining 100% of your company’s equity.
