As a thriving entrepreneur, are you missing out on the largest single source of funding for industrial R&D?

SR&ED (http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/txcrdt/sred-rsde/menu-eng.html) is a federal tax incentive program initiated by Canada Revenue Agency since the 1980s. Claimants are able to receive up to 64% refund on their SR&ED eligible expenses every year. However, it is estimated that only 15% of the companies that qualify actually applied for SR&ED.

To kick off the new year of 2017, Istuary Idea Labs (https://www.istuary.com/idealabs) is excited to have Boast Capital (http://boastcapital.com/) at our office to explain the “in and outs” about SR&ED. Alex Popa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/embeddedxer), Manager Partner, and Sanjay Bahal (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjaybehal8), Director of Business Development at Boast Capital will take you through the most frequently asked questions:

• What is SR&ED?

• Who is eligible for the program?

• How does the program work for you?

Join us for a free lunch, an informative session and network with fellow entrepreneurs in Vancouver! Seats are limited so RSVP now!
