Our Products

Tax Credit Financing (SR&ED, FTC, OIDMTC, etc.)

Financing refundable tax credits* gives you funds for money you have already spent, months before the government pays you.

Post-File Tax Financing

Acorn Partners can give you funds against the anticipated value of your refundable tax claim so you can use the money for your business operations today.

By having those funds available immediately, rather than in the future, you can focus on using your money to grow your business today and not tomorrow.

Pre-Filed SR&ED Claim Financing

Acorn is exclusive in its ability to give companies money prior to filing their SR&ED claim. Companies who have a history of successfully filing claims in previous years can receive funds against their R&D expenses on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, months before they finalize and file their claim.

We will also consider financing a company’s first-time claim on a pre-filed basis.

Other Tax Refunds

If you have other refundable tax credits, contact us to see if your tax refund is eligible for pre-payment by Acorn, rather than waiting until the government settles with you. (Minimum refundable tax credits for “Other” taxes may apply, e.g., GST, must be over $25,000 for us to consider financing these claims.)
