When you are trying to develop or improve your business's products or processes, the Canadian Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is considered the mainstay for innovation and support in Canada.

Compensation planning for early stage owner/operators is a critical component of SR&ED in emerging and scaling companies. Maximize your return and appropriately identify small changes to your process that lower compliance costs so you can focus on your business.
