Could your company qualify for funding?

Start with one question.

What does your company do?

Three ways we help your business grow

Funding for the work you already do, a clean deal when you buy or sell, and a facility that is ready to run.

Grants and tax credits

Get money back for the R&D you already do. We find the SR&ED, federal and provincial funding you qualify for and handle the paperwork.

  • Find the programs you qualify for
  • Write the technical descriptions and applications
  • Prepare and file the claim

What SR&ED can cover

Staff time
Wages for people doing the technical work
Materials
Used up or changed in trials and prototypes
Contractors
Some outside technical work

Including SR&ED, IRAP, CanExport and the BC Employer Training Grant.

Buy or sell a business

For owners selling and buyers looking. We advise on the deal and make the right connections, including finding the right building or space.

Facility setup and compliance

Tenant improvements, permits, business licensing and ISO 9001, handled by a team that knows how a factory floor runs.

Does your work qualify for SR&ED?

SR&ED is a federal tax incentive for work that tries to solve a technical problem. Many companies do this work without calling it R&D. If any of these sound familiar, you might qualify.

How SR&ED works

  • You built a prototype or ran trials

    And some of them did not work the first time.

  • You improved a process on the floor

    Faster cycle times, less scrap or a new way to make a part.

  • You tested new materials or tooling

    Because the standard options could not do the job.

  • You wrote software to solve a technical problem

    Not just configured an off-the-shelf tool.

Shop floor experience, not just paperwork

Unique Consulting was founded by Navdeep Arora, who started on the machines and went on to run a Vancouver precision manufacturer. That background shapes how our whole team works: practical, plain-spoken and close to the work itself.

  • We know the factory floor

    Our approach comes from running machines, production and quality systems, so we understand your process before we write about it.

  • One team for funding, deals and facilities

    Grants, buying or selling a business and setting up a facility often happen together. You deal with one team for all of it.

  • Quality systems built in

    ISO 9001 and Lean are part of how we work, which helps when a claim or an audit asks for evidence.

  • We speak your language

    We work in English, Punjabi and Hindi, so nothing gets lost in translation.
