New Business Retention Tool

Increase Your Cash Flow by Decreasing Tax Liabilities
Through Cost Segregation

OEDA has a new tool to assist in job and business retention. OEDA members can now provide eligible local companies with an engineering-based Cost Segregation Study that will allow them to dramatically increase their operational cash flow by accelerating their asset depreciation on federal taxes. This program will provide a no-cost analysis of the potential cash benefits available. Fees for the actual study are totally contingent on the benefit received. There is no risk involved for the company, and no cost to the economic development organization.

The addition of these cost segregation services allows our members to help existing companies in their communities to strengthen their bottom line as Oregon recovers from the current downturn.” Erik Anderson, OEDA president explained. “OEDA’s economic development programs are not just about attracting new business, they’re also focused on assisting our current business partners to thrive and grow in Oregon.”
