First Time ClaimantPerceived SR&ED to be dauntingA Northbridge client had never before claimed for SR&ED, having had bad experiences in the past with other forms of government funding. The cheese manufacturer's operations were large and complex. The client also had very little time to dedicate to the process of filing for SR&ED, causing them to avoid the process altogether. Northbridge Gets to WorkIdentifies extensive SR&ED potentialNorthbridge Consultants toured all of the client’s facilities, identifying past and present SR&ED work. The consultant set up documentation tracking systems and assisted to identify, define, and formalize an R&D department. The expected SR&ED return made it possible to hire key personnel to help the company move forward.
Claim Accepted as FiledSR&ED provides significant returnThe cheese manufacturer experienced great success with the SR&ED program. The expenses claimed reached half a million dollars. These expenses involved complex scenarios of incremental SR&ED work concurrent with commercial production. After Northbridge’s thorough investigation of their activities, the CRA accepted the claim as filed, and left it unadjusted. The return for the client was very significant and beneficial to further developments. This is a factual account of a client’s success with Northbridge Consultants. Names have been removed to protect the client. | |||||||||
