What does Finalta Capital offer?
Finalta Capital offers one thing, done at scale: bridge financing against SR&ED tax credits and government grants. It advances $250,000 to $10 million against credits you have earned or are accruing, secured by those receivables, and is repaid when the government pays. It is an evergreen fund backed by Fonds de solidarité FTQ since 2017, and its website is finaltacapital.com. It publishes more than $500 million financed across 163 companies since 2012, as of June 2024, and a $31 million fund raise in 2024. Our SR&ED and grant financing page explains the structure.
Who does Finalta Capital fund, and who do they decline?
Finalta funds innovative Canadian companies with meaningful, repeatable tax credit claims. Its published fit is revenue above $1 million and recurring eligibility, in sectors such as video games, aerospace, digital and AI, manufacturing and electric transportation. Its Quebec roots mean it also understands provincial programs well.
It does not publish decline criteria. The $250,000 floor is the practical filter: a company with a small claim or a first time filer with no history is better served by Bonsai Growth or Venbridge. Companies outside Canada are not eligible.
What does it typically cost and how fast is it?
Finalta does not publish rates, fees or timelines; pricing is quoted per file. Tax credit bridges are usually priced as a monthly rate on the advance plus a setup fee, with the amount advanced below the full claim to leave room for an adjustment. The typical range is on our SR&ED and grant financing page. Expect the process to take longer than a cash advance because the fund reviews your claim and your eligibility history.

Bring your SR&ED technical and financial schedules or grant agreements, prior notices of assessment showing credits paid, financial statements, a current forecast, bank statements, a cap table and corporate documents. Our document checklist covers the baseline; the claim history is the key extra for this lender.
How does Finalta Capital compare with similar lenders?
Venbridge lends $100,000 to $2 million against accrued SR&ED credits or recurring revenue on 24 to 36 month terms or a quarterly line, which suits a smaller technology company. Bonsai Growth sizes each loan to the claim, takes no personal guarantee, and typically funds within 10 to 15 business days. Finalta is the choice for larger claims and companies that want a long term funding partner for repeat credits.
