Non-dilutive capital, systematically captured
Canadian companies leave billions in SR&ED credits and grant funding unclaimed every year. Meravon turns government funding from an annual scramble into a systematic, defensible source of growth capital.
The practice
Canada operates one of the most generous innovation-funding regimes in the world — SR&ED tax credits, IRAP contributions, and hundreds of federal and provincial programs. Yet most eligible companies either never apply, under-claim, or file claims that cannot withstand a CRA review.
Meravon approaches government funding as a capital strategy, not paperwork. We map your activities and roadmap against the full funding landscape, build a multi-year funding calendar, and prepare claims and applications with the technical and financial rigour that reviewers respect.
Our SR&ED methodology pairs financial specialists with technical interviewers who speak your engineers' language — capturing the full eligible scope while building the contemporaneous documentation that protects every dollar claimed.

Common questions
How do your SR&ED fees work?
We offer both fixed-fee and success-based structures depending on claim maturity and complexity. Either way, fees are agreed before work begins and include review defence.
We were audited before and it went badly. Can you help?
Yes. CRA review defence and claim remediation are core to our practice. We rebuild the technical narrative and documentation to the standard reviewers expect — and represent you throughout.
What kinds of work qualify for SR&ED?
Broader than most assume: experimental development in software, manufacturing processes, materials, and engineering frequently qualifies, including failed experiments. If your team resolved technological uncertainty through systematic investigation, it is worth an assessment.
