THE PROBLEM

Most companies leave millions on the table

Most companies evaluating a new facility, headquarters relocation, or major expansion underestimate the incentives available to them by a wide margin. State and local programs vary dramatically, eligibility rules are technical, and the difference between a well-positioned project and a poorly-positioned one can run into the tens of millions.

The Incentive Opportunity Snapshot gives you a directional view of what’s possible before you invest in a full site selection process.

who it's for

Built for the leaders making capital-intensive decisions

The Snapshot is built for corporate real estate, finance, tax, and operations leaders with a minimum project threshold of $10 million in capital investment and 25 projected full-time jobs looking to evaluate: 
K
New manufacturing or industrial facilities
K
Headquarters or back-office relocations
K
Major capacity expansions at existing sites
K
Data centers, R&D facilities, or distribution hubs 
Projects below that threshold are better served through a direct consultation. Please reach out using our standard contact form. 
scope & purpose

A planning tool built for you

The Snapshot is a planning tool designed to help your team understand the order of magnitude of incentives that may be available before you invest in a full site selection process.

It does not include negotiation strategy, statutory citations, site-specific factors, or the program-by-program modeling our clients receive in a full Incentive Opportunity Analysis. Those become available when GLS is engaged on the project.

about GLS

The same rigor. Faster format

Global Location Strategies advises corporate clients on site selection and economic development incentives across the United States. Our incentives practice has secured and modeled programs across all major industry verticals and every state we work in.

The Snapshot reflects the same analytical rigor we bring to multi-million-dollar engagements, compressed into a format designed to help you make a faster, better-informed early decision.

2.5B in announced incentives for negotiated clients

50 states covered

100+ years of expertise

50B+ announced capital investment

When our client received South Carolina’s initial incentive offer of $159.7M, most companies would have accepted the terms. We didn’t. Through structured negotiation, we secured a final package of $239.7M, bringing in an additional $80M in value, a 50% increase over the state’s opening position.
