Did you know?

Over 95% of eligible small and mid-sized businesses miss out on these credits every year simply because they don’t recognize their activities as research and development. We’re here to change that.

What Qualifies as R&D?

You may be surprised to learn that many of your day-to-day operations qualify under IRS guidelines for R&D incentives. These include:

• Improving manufacturing processes or workflows
• Developing or customizing equipment
• Testing new materials or technologies
• Creating prototypes or refining product designs
• Solving technical challenges or client-specific problems

If you’re doing any of the above, you may be sitting on tens of thousands in unclaimed tax credits.
