Research and Development Funding
Research and Development Grant, Loan, and Funding Programs Ryan Can Write for Your Business
Research and development activities support innovation and enable Canadian companies to achieve competitive advantages over other domestic and international firms. These types of activities are not just for research-focused companies and large businesses with substantial R&D budgets, but also for smaller companies that seek an edge over products and services that currently dominate the market.
Innovation is a mindset that businesses must adopt to remain a viable choice to customers; without research and development, there will eventually be solutions available to your client base that are more appealing than your offerings. Fortunately, Canadian government funding is available to offset R&D costs and help companies stretch their research budgets.
The Ryan team of Canadian government grant, tax credit, loan, and funding experts provide our clients with an average of 95% time savings. Speak with a member of our team to find out what programs your business may be eligible for through our Get Funding Help page.
