Business Development Strategies, Inc., (BDS) has helped more than 200 businesses in Massachusetts save over $200 million in state and local taxes, create 10,000 new jobs, retain 20,000 jobs, and invest more than $1 billion in Massachusetts cities and towns.
Since its founding in 2003, Business Development Strategies, Inc. has built an impressive record of success helping a “Who’s Who” of prominent companies identify, negotiate and secure state and local tax incentives in the form of Tax Increment Financing (TIF), state tax credits and other tools under the state’s Economic Development Incentive Program.
What our clients are saying “Having BDS in our corner for a second time gave us the valuable guidance we needed to secure favorable financial results.” – Patrick Lucy, President and CEO, Lykan Bioscience
Knowing where to look, when to apply, and how to effectively promote your project to state and local officials and the community are key to achieving a positive outcome. Tax Incentives can help your business make corporate real estate decisions and save thousands, even millions, of dollars in taxes and bring new jobs and revenue to municipalities throughout the state. With BDS on your team, your company can achieve its real estate investment, job creation and retention and cash savings goals.
Timing of the project is essential. If a company has already made a commitment to a property, it may be unlikely tax incentives would be available for the project, and the company could leave “cash on the table.”
BDS has worked on many of the largest expansion and retention projects in the state. Our clients include some of Massachusetts’ best-known brands in manufacturing, life sciences, technology, innovation, research and development, and distribution.

These companies are leaders in their industries and have made a positive economic impact in the Commonwealth in the areas of job creation, real estate investments, community involvement and diversity, equity and inclusion.
