Our Process

At SSG, we take an efficient, unobtrusive approach that quickly leads us to an understanding of our client’s business and reliably points to available economic incentives. From here, we navigate the application process on our client’s behalf, providing filing, tracking, communications and follow-up until the job is done.

SSG’s proprietary process includes three simple steps:

This free, face-to-face meeting gives us the opportunity to get to know you, your business and your financial objectives. Information gathered at this time will begin to reveal how we can help you meet your economic goals.

Using information gathered in consultation and through our feasibility questionnaire, SSG assembles an overview of incentives available to your company, including a projection of cash, credit, exemption and abatement amounts we believe we will be able to help you secure. Potential incentives might include:

Cash rebates or refunds
For example, did you know that numerous states offer programs that provide companies with a quarterly or annual cash refund of up to 5% of new payroll generated by new jobs in the state?

Sales tax exemptions
Applies to both large equipment purchase and facility expansion.

Property tax abatements
May allow your company to significantly reduce — possibly for many years — city and state taxes levied against capital expansion projects.

Federal and state income tax credits
Allows even companies growing at a modest rate to secure credits based on current employees or capital investment.

Training grants
Most states offer training cost reimbursement for the training of new or existing employees. These costs include: instructors, training material, facilities, supplies, etc.

Miscellaneous credits
Especially for unique companies or start-ups: includes technology credits, new product development credits, agriculture credits, clean-burning fuel credits, computer/data-processing credits and a host of other incentives.

At this stage, Strategic Solutions Group prepares and submits the appropriate application(s) in order to secure the applicable economic incentive(s) for your company. Once approved, Strategic Solutions Group is responsible for managing the program to ensure that the company receives maximum benefit. This includes monthly, quarterly and annual filings, which guarantee that a company will receive their cash grant, tax abatement, tax exemption or tax credit. Strategic Solutions Group will also work with the appropriate internal or external accountants to ensure that these savings are reported correctly on the appropriate tax returns. And all you have to do... is count the savings.

All information and documentation received by Strategic Solutions Group is secure, protected and kept absolutely confidential.

The fee for our services is based solely on the savings we are able to secure for your company. Which means that we don’t get paid until you experience a successful outcome from our working process.
