The program’s rewards are worth the effort, but landing a California Competes award is not an easy process. The program requires that you demonstrate and quantify your job-creation value and overall economic impact on the state, determine and request an exact and reasonable tax-credit amount, and make a compelling case that puts you ahead of competing applicants. The “secret sauce” for a winning application is to hire us.
We have a long-standing relationship with GO-Biz officials and will contact them directly to ensure your application gets a fair review.
California Competes is new and is being closely monitored by the Governor and Legislature. Applications that present a well-written narrative have a much higher probability of success. Businesses in high tech, bio tech, and clean tech have an advantage.
It was clear from the first round of funding that the amount of the tax credit requested has to far exceed the benefit (ratio of less than 10).
