What is the US-R&D tax credit?
The R&D Tax Credit is available to any U.S. business that spends time and resources on new development, improvements, or technological advancements in an effort to innovate its products or processes.
Additionally, businesses that are focused on improving the performance, functionality, reliability, or quality of existing products or services can claim the tax credit.
As of 2016, small businesses can use the credit to offset the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
Really? No upfront fee.
This service is 100% contingency-based.
We have learned that the reason small businesses have not claimed these tax credits is because the process was too hard or they simply didn't think they would qualify.
Thus, we are very confident we can get you a credit once you pass our free feasibility review.
ReVenture and our partners at American Incentive Advisors (AIA) are only compensated when you get the refund that we uncover.
