Tax Incentive Seminars Focus on Keeping Small Businesses Competitive

May 5, 2010 - PRLog -- In today's global arena, staying competitive is a critical element of success. U.S. businesses have an arsenal of weapons to maintain their competitive advantage both domestically and globally through a highly-educated workforce, innovation and a number of tax incentives available both at the federal and state levels.

Sponsored by NeoSystems and GHRO Group, Acena Consulting will be presenting three informational seminars focused on tax incentives available for small businesses that help reduce taxes paid, which may provide more capital to drive your businesses growth. These morning events will be held Tuesday, May 25th in Woodland Hills, Wednesday, May 26th in Irvine and Thursday, May 27th in San Diego.

Randy Eickhoff, President of Acena Consulting shares, "So many businesses today have incredible products and technologies that will continue to revolutionize our world. In the U.S. there are tax incentives that can provide additional capital through lower taxes or grants to help these businesses grow and develop. Unfortunately, many companies don't realize that they qualify and can utilize these benefits. Our seminars are focused on providing real time information to help companies maximize these opportunities."

Seminars scheduled for the Southern California area will focus on Research and Development Tax Credits, export incentives and the new 50% Therapeutic Tax Credit.

According to Mr. Eickhoff, a licensed C.P.A. in California and veteran of years working with federal tax incentives, many small businesses are not taking advantage of all that is available to them from a tax perspective. "Small business owners typically have a wealth of experience in their field of expertise. They know how to innovate, develop new products, and bring to market state-of-the=art technologies, but when it comes to knowing if they can benefit from export incentives like an IC DISC, for example, they don't know what questions to ask."

"Small businesses don't realize that they can qualify for an R&D tax credit when they improve on an old product, develop a new version of software for sale or perhap experiment with new materials for their products; just by doing things that keep the business competitive in the marketplace should be evaluated.", commented Mr. Eickhoff.
