 Our company specializes in negotiating discretionary benefits
for our clients that significantly enhance the P&L and balance
sheet performance. The vast experience of our partners in
government, regulated industries and the general private sector
provide our company with a unique competitive advantage.
Although the benefits we deliver are across a broad spectrum of cost
and financial performance indicators, we specialize in the following
four principal cost areas:
TAXES &
TARIFFS
US
CONSULTS negotiates discretionary tax abatements, credits and
exemptions. We are not "tax advisors". We have
delivered 100% property tax abatements, 100% sales and use
tax exemptions (where not otherwise eligible),
& significant federal and state tax credits (including
salable tax credits) and refunds. We negotiate probative
evidence, and create effective economic, technological and other
obsolescence arguments. We are able to monetize tax credits,
including at NPV when the credits vest over a multi-year
schedule.
Although a client may have an
extensive tax department, we have always created significant new tax
related opportunities.
US CONSULTS has identified and then delivered
significant cost reduction opportunities in purchasing for our
clients through leveraging Foreign Trade Zones. We prepare the
applications and negotiate tariff inversions and
quotas.
EMPLOYMENT
& TRAINING
US CONSULTS is not an employment agency.
Rather, US CONSULTS significantly reduces employment related costs
through negotiating cash, tax credits, and services from government
agencies. These benefits are often significant, making a
profound impact on a company's P&L.
Similarly, US CONSULTS is not a training
company. Instead, it specializes in obtaining funding for a
client's training needs. The funding can be in the form of
cash grants (often measured in the millions of dollars), cash
reimbursements without grant, free services, tax credits and tax
refunds. We have pioneered unique adjunct faculty agreements,
and have a considerable track record of success in obtaining grant
awards for our clients.
ENERGY
& UTILITIES
US CONSULTS negotiates special contracts that
significantly reduce a client's energy and utility costs. Its
partners have been negotiating these agreements for over 20 years,
irrespective of any deregulation. Experts in negotiating
commodity, transportation and local distribution, savings of over
35% are common using US CONSULTS services. One client avoided
a $2 million investment in a water treatment plant by having US
CONSULTS analyze the surcharge issue and then negotiate a solution
(reducing surcharges by $600 thousand per year).
INVESTMENT
& ACQUISITIONS
US CONSULTS negotiates government incentives for clients
making investments. For example,
- US CONSULTS negotiated
over $70 million in cash for a company relocating 900 jobs
- US CONSULTS negotiated
over $15 million NPV cash for a company retaining 300 jobs
- US
CONSULTS leveraged a simple investment of $2 million into a
multi-million dollar package of benefits including utility
rate reductions, cash grants, and tax abatements, exemptions and
refunds.
