When your business plans a major investment—such as building or expanding a facility, hiring or training employees or scaling into new markets—the difference between locations can mean millions in new tax exposure or savings. State and local governments aggressively compete for business by offering statutory and discretionary credits, grants and other incentives, but each program comes with its own rules, timelines and requirements.
Considering incentives early can change the economics of your project—improving returns, reducing upfront costs and freeing capital for growth. The key is understanding where opportunities exist and how to capture them before you make commitments or break ground.
RSM’s state credits and incentives professionals help organizations evaluate location-based incentives and opportunities, model incentive outcomes and manage the application and negotiation process. With our guidance, you can secure the incentives that align with your broader business strategy and move forward with confidence.
