California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) CALED has a new tool to assist in job and business retention by providing local companies with a CALED engineering based cost segregation study that allows them to dramatically increase their operational cash flow by accelerating their asset depreciation on Federal taxes. This program will provide a no cost analysis of the potential cash benefits available. Fees for the actual study are totally contingent on the benefit received. There is no risk involved for the company, and no cost to the economic development organization. You can download a flyer about the program here.
