SR&ED Is About Technical Challenges, Not Industry Labels
SR&ED eligibility is determined by the technical work being performed, not by the industry a company operates in. While certain industries claim more SR&ED credits than others, qualifying work can occur anywhere technical uncertainty exists and systematic investigation is required.
Companies Often Qualify When They Are:
- Developing new products or processes
- Improving existing technologies
- Solving technical performance limitations
- Testing new materials or formulations
- Overcoming integration or scalability challenges
- Conducting structured experimentation to resolve technical uncertainty
Industries We Commonly Support
Our experience spans a broad range of sectors including software development, manufacturing, automation, food production, medical technology, environmental innovation, agriculture, industrial services, and advanced engineering. While each industry faces different technical challenges, the common thread is the pursuit of solutions where the outcome could not be determined in advance.
Even if your industry is not represented above, your work may still qualify if technical uncertainty and experimentation were involved.
