Each year, more than $48 billion in government incentives are made available to U.S. businesses—yet nearly $42 billion of that goes unclaimed. The reason? Navigating the complex landscape of incentive programs is challenging without the right expertise and tools. For many companies, this means missing out on substantial benefits simply because compliance and reporting requirements are too difficult to manage internally. IncentiLock is changing that—making incentive capture smarter, simpler, and more accurate.

Incentive programs are often crafted by politicians and legal teams—without practical guidance for the businesses expected to comply. The result? A confusing system where proving compliance is unnecessarily difficult. Frequent staff turnover only adds to the burden, both for companies and government agencies. While $42 billion is successfully claimed each year, nearly $48 billion goes unclaimed—money that’s often quietly repurposed by the government. With little motivation to simplify the process, companies are left to navigate the chaos on their own.
IncentiLock Report simplifies the complexity—so you can claim what you’ve earned.

For qualifying companies¹, IncentiLock will recalculate your incentive data—past or current year—for one project, at no upfront cost. If we can't demonstrate an improvement in your benefit, that project is free for that year. Think of it as a risk-free way to see the value we can unlock—lunch included.
For ongoing support, fixed subscription pricing is available based on the number of legal entities and work locations within an incentive project state. (Spoiler: the more you have, the more you’ll gain.)

¹ Qualification depends on project scope, including number of legal entities and work sites.

Securing government incentives isn’t a one-step process—it’s a complex, program-specific journey that starts well before breaking ground. From evaluating sites to finalizing agreements and claiming benefits, each phase presents its own set of challenges. IncentiLock streamlines the entire lifecycle:

• Use IncentiLock Explore early to identify available incentives across potential locations.
• Then, leverage IncentiLock Report to model projected benefits, set baseline job commitments, and evaluate proposals.
• Once agreements are signed, continue using Report to monitor compliance, track project milestones, and reduce the risk of costly clawbacks.
  With IncentiLock, you stay informed, compliant, and in control—every step of the way.

Choosing the right location for your next facility is a high-stakes decision—and incentive availability can make all the difference. IncentiLock Explore removes the guesswork by giving you access to the most comprehensive U.S. incentives database available, powered by data from C2ER and IncentiLock’s own proprietary insights. Whether you're comparing regions or evaluating a shortlist, Explore helps you identify opportunities others miss. Included with IncentiLock Report or available separately for a nominal fee, it’s the smarter way to plan your expansion—with clarity and confidence.

Traditional consultants often rely on manual, slow, and error-prone methods for calculating benefits by contract, which can lead to significant inefficiencies. Additionally, audit defense support comes at a costly hourly rate, and the need for constant retraining due to staff turnover makes the process even more cumbersome. As a result, these firms typically realize less than 80% of available benefits.

In contrast, IncentiLock automates benefit calculations, making the process fast, accurate, and error-free. Audit defense support is included at no extra cost, and the system’s fully automated process ensures resilience to staff turnover. With IncentiLock, you can be confident in realizing 100% of available benefits. Our turnkey solution not only automates the entire management process but also provides full access to computed data, ensuring transparency and efficiency at every step.

Managing incentive reporting isn’t just time-consuming—it’s inherently complex. In one case, a client operating major facilities across 3 states, 6 counties, and 6 cities faced a tangled web of compliance requirements. Each location had its own set of rules, deadlines, and documentation standards. Even after successfully negotiating incentive agreements, the real challenge began: submitting claims in line with the often inconsistent and opaque requirements of multiple government agencies. Without automation and expert support, valuable incentives can easily be delayed—or lost entirely.
