# Does Your Business Need Cashflow? / Watch & Access Little Known Government Tax Credit Programs

About Jeff Dameron I work as a business consultant for small, medium, and large-sized businesses basically, finding local, state, and federal tax credits for them.

Our business model is we're finding cash and creating cash flow as well as reducing expenses all on a contingency basis so in other words there's no risk to the business owner and we're never selling anything we're simply finding cash and cash flow for them.

Specifically, some of the programs include the Work Opportunity Tax Credit otherwise known as WOTC, this particular tax program gives credits to business owners from $2,400 to $9,600 per employee per year on an average of about 22% of a business owners employees will qualify for this particular tax credit.

Another tax credit we use is the R&D or research and development tax credit the name is a bit of a misnomer because it's all a little farther reaching than what the name implies, and it can go back a few years as well.

For business owners who own commercial properties or owners of commercial properties in general, we use cost segregation. We perform an engineering study for cost segregation; for those that may not know about it, it is an accelerated depreciation model versus the standard 39-year commercial property depreciation so it's a great benefit for the commercial property owner because we go under the premise that cash now is better than cash later and it's gonna provide more use because most commercial property owners usually don't own a building for 39 years.
