How We Work
Horne and Associates works with clients to lower the cost of innovation. We are specialists
in successful applications under government incentive programs for Ontario-based businesses. You
should have a tax credit or grant owing to your firm if you incur expenses in the following areas:
- development and testing
- customer research and trials
- new manufacturing processes
- improvements to current products
- operational improvements
- new product samples or scrap
The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SRED) program is a standard tax
credit routinely used by big business. More than $1.8 Billion was granted in one year.
But... 60% of eligible businesses do not apply because:
- Business owners and managers aren't aware of the "quiet" government program
- Business owners and managers don't know that they qualify
- Business owners and managers are put off by the apparent technical requirements
We remove each of these barriers. There is no cost and no employee time required to apply.
In most cases, your current tax accounting systems already have all the information needed. And,
once you understand the program, you can start planning to maximize your SRED benefits year
after year.
Our firm has a 100% success rate with applications. We work on a 15% contingency basis.
In most cases, we can identify your potential for a SRED tax credit within a short time and
there is no charge for this initial assessment.
