Every year in the United States the local, state, and federal government allocate over $100B in incentives for businesses. This figure does not even include any of the one-time Covid-related programs like Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)! Unfortunately, most of this money either goes unclaimed or goes to large corporations that can afford to have teams of tax attorneys and consultants on staff looking for these opportunities and submitting applications. In fact, we estimate that 97% of these program dollars go to big businesses (over 500 employees based on the SBA’s definition).
