Cost Segregation Studies: Increase Cash Flow and Opportunities!
Everyone knows that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. In the world of business taxes, this translates to: a tax deduction today is more valuable than one in the future. That’s where a Cost Segregation Study comes in. This powerful tax strategy can help you accelerate depreciation, reduce your taxable income, and free up capital—boosting your business’s cash flow now rather than later.
What Is a Cost Segregation Study?
A Cost Segregation Study is an IRS-approved method that allows property owners to identify and separate personal property assets from the structural components of a building. By doing this, certain assets can be depreciated over much shorter periods—typically 5, 7, or 15 years—compared to the standard 27.5 years for residential properties or 39 years for commercial properties.

This accelerated depreciation of assets like HVAC systems, flooring, lighting, landscaping, and more results in reduced taxable income and deferred taxes, ultimately increasing cash flow for your business.
Why Invest in Cost Segregation?
Cost Segregation can provide substantial benefits to property owners, particularly those who have recently purchased, constructed, or renovated a property. Here's why it’s worth considering for your business:
Accelerated Depreciation
By reallocating construction costs, we help you accelerate depreciation, which can lead to significant upfront tax savings. This enables you to write off portions of the property value more quickly than with standard depreciation schedules.

Improved Cash Flow
The immediate tax relief from a cost segregation study frees up cash that can be reinvested in your business. This can be especially helpful for growth, expansion, or other immediate financial needs.

Enhance Property Value
A cost segregation study can increase your property’s tax basis, potentially lowering future capital gains taxes when you sell the property. This could mean more profit in your pocket down the line.

Maximize Deductions for Renovations
If you’ve recently purchased, renovated, or constructed a property, a cost segregation study can help you identify opportunities to claim additional deductions on your investments. The study can uncover valuable tax benefits from capital improvements that you might have missed otherwise.
Benefits of Cost Segregation
This strategy offers several benefits that can directly impact your bottom line. Here’s how a Cost Segregation Study could help your business:

  • Greater tax deductions in the short term

  • Accelerated depreciation, improving your upfront savings

  • Increased cash flow by freeing up capital for reinvestment

  • Enhanced competitive edge, with more financial flexibility

  • Tax savings for both current and past projects, giving you retroactive benefits


By leveraging cost segregation, you unlock the potential to maximize your deductions, increase cash flow, and improve your financial position.
