Headquarters Relocation Incentives for a Specialized Dental Practice

Project Overview

The client is a leading specialized dental practice. The oldest privately held orthodontics firm in the United States, the client is responsible for dramatic technological advances in orthodontics and changed ownership. The client is investing in new technologies and processes that will continue to drive the company forward.

With this change in ownership, the company looked at relocating their headquarters and major operations. When considering this move, the client looked to McGuire Sponsel to procure state and local tax incentives. Their $6.6M investment in operations and addition of over 200 jobs made an excellent prospect for valuable state and local incentives.

Faced with a high initial cost of moving, the client needed the tax incentives to offset costs and complete the move. McGuire Sponsel’s Credits & Incentives team was able to negotiate with a state economic development team to procure a $3 million incentive package, which included a job tax credit and a Small Business Headquarters Tax Credit (SHQTC).

The team also worked with the city to capture an accelerated 7 year property abatement deal worth an estimated $413,500 in tax savings.
