OKR is a Canadian specialized private debt fund that offers non-dilutive financing for SME’s using their federal and provincial R&D grants and tax credits as collateral. The issue faced by a growing number of growing companies in Canada is the face that there is generally a 3-4-month time lag between being approved/applying for grants and actually receiving funds from the government program.

We offer short term bridge financing solutions that allow these companies to advance cash against these government receivables and then pay off their loan facilities when funds are received.
