📅 When should your SaaS company check if you qualify for R&D tax credits?

Not just at year-end — at every major milestone.

→ After a funding round (set up documentation before your dev spend scales)
→ At every product roadmap review (new features = eligible activities)
→ When engineering headcount grows (more wages = bigger potential credit)
→ When burn rate is climbing (credits fund growth without dilution)
→ Before a strategic exit (unclaimed credits are money on the table)

The IRS credits the work you've already done. The longer you wait to assess, the harder documentation becomes — and the more you leave behind.

We help SaaS companies identify eligible activities before the window closes.

💰 You might be overpaying on your commercial property taxes and not even know it.

Most buildings are depreciated over 39 years… but many components inside qualify for much faster write-offs.

Here’s what could be reclassified:

✔️ 5–7 year property: lighting, flooring, cabinetry, specialty electrical
✔️ 15-year land improvements: parking lots, landscaping, signage
✔️ 15-year improvements: HVAC, roofing, interior upgrades

This applies to office, retail, industrial, and more whether you bought, built, or renovated.

👉 If your property is worth $1M+, a cost segregation study could unlock major first-year savings.

We’ve seen investors free up six figures in cash flow without buying anything new.

Want to see what your building might be hiding?

Struggling with startup runway but don’t want to raise another round?

You’re not alone and you may not have to.

🚀 We just published a new blog:
How PE and VC Firms Use R&D Credits to Extend SaaS Runway

Here’s the key insight:
Many SaaS companies are sitting on *hidden cash* within their engineering spend.

Instead of:
❌ Cutting growth-driving teams
❌ Diluting equity with new funding

You could:
✅ Recover 6–10% of engineering costs
✅ Claim up to $500K annually in payroll tax offsets
✅ Extend runway without changing your cap table

The catch? Most startups underclaim these benefits.
