Cost segregation is a tax strategy that reclassifies qualifying components of a commercial building into shorter depreciation schedules (typically 5, 7, or 15 years vs. 39 years). This accelerates deductions into earlier tax years, improving after-tax cash flow and deferring tax obligations.
Increase Cash Flow: By front-loading depreciation, you free up cash that can be used for expanding your business or investing in new opportunities.
Reduce Tax Liability: Lower your tax burden by accelerating deductions and deferring tax payments.
Asset Reclassification: Separate qualifying building elements such as lighting, flooring, and exterior improvements for faster depreciation.
Unlock Hidden Savings: Many commercial property owners overlook valuable depreciation opportunities—our experts ensure you maximize every available benefit.
