A Track Record of Success

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

Valuable government tax incentives for real estate expansion projects in Massachusetts

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.”
