Driving Growth Where Opportunity Meets Strategy

Whether you’re expanding operations, relocating facilities, or launching a new site, state and local tax incentives can dramatically influence the financial success of your project. At DMA, we go beyond identifying credits—we help you strategically secure, negotiate, and manage incentive programs that align with your long-term goals. We work as an extension of your internal team—collaborating with tax, real estate, operations, and finance leaders to create a data-driven strategy that unlocks hidden value and maximizes every dollar of investment. Our team will manage the entire lifecycle—from opportunity identification and applications to compliance and performance reporting—so your team can stay focused on driving the business forward.

 

Call DMA Before You Spend

If you’re planning a capital investment—new facilities, equipment, jobs, or site relocation—make DMA your first call.

We help companies capture state and local tax incentives before key decisions are finalized. Why does timing matter? Because many incentives require action before a project is announced or launched. Once commitments are made, you may lose access to valuable programs.

Engage DMA early if you’re considering:
  • Building or purchasing new facilities
  • Buying equipment or advanced technology
  • Relocating, expanding, or consolidating operations
  • Hiring and training new employees
  • Creating or moving jobs across jurisdictions

Early engagement ensures maximum benefit—and avoids leaving money on the table.

The Risk of Waiting Too Long

Companies that delay involving incentive experts often:

  • Announce projects too early, losing incentive eligibility
  • Miss key filing windows or program deadlines
  • Forfeit six- or seven-figure incentive opportunities
  • Face compliance burdens without expert support
DMA’s early involvement ensures:
  • Maximum incentive value
  • Success-based fee options
  • Experienced guidance through a complex and evolving incentive landscape

The best time to call us? When your project is still a “what if.”
