Franklin Consulting Group

Was cold called by this company, was a bit skeptic. However went ahead with them since there was no payment up front. Was very happy to receive money from the government! would definitely recommend.

This company is a complete scam!! They called us to tell us that they work with the CRA in helping small businesses get grants and that we are eligible because we manufacture products in Canada. They explained they would handle the application for us for a percentage of the grant money, and we can claim 2 years of our financials. After a lot of back and forth we sadly decided to go for it. I sent them our financials, told them about our business and then was told the CRA would contact us for a review. We were never provided the financial breakdown that they gave the CRA, only 1 page that we needed to sign. After a 3 hour phone call with the CRA it was deemed that we were not eligible. We thanked the CRA and said that is fine, we are a very busy small business and don't have time for this anyways. Two months after our call we got a letter from the CRA stating we are being non compliant and owe them 27,000!!!!! I immediately called SRULL at Franklin and he said we made the mistake because we didn't call them before the CRA meeting as they would have coached us on how to answer their questions. It has been a complete nightmare as now I have to deal with the CRA and provide them all this financial information that I don't even know how Franklin came up with:(( STAY AWAY IF THEY CALL YOU!! Do not fall into their trap.

This company does not have a clue what they are doing. I just sat through the most embarrassing 2 HOUR tongue lashing from the CRA and SR&ED on how abysmal our application was and how Franklin botched our claim. The agent from Franklin, who was on the line, had the most pitiful and useless excuses. Good news, we weren't considered a fraudulent claim and won't be going to jail. Avoid this company at all costs.

They don't charge anything unless we get paid so it was worth the time and effort spent into putting the claim together with them. They guided us through from the beginning, knows what they are doing. As long as you know about the project or research your company did well enough they can make it work. They knew what the program was looking for and tried their best to claim as much as possible for us.
