Turn Innovation into Cash Flow.
R&D Tax Credit Service
Most U.S. SMBs that build, test, or improve products and processes qualify for federal and state R&D tax credits — and most leave the money on the table. Opscale Exchange matches you with a vetted R&D specialist, builds a defensible study, and (when you qualify) advances cash against the credit so you don’t have to wait on the IRS.
If your team solves technical problems, you probably qualify.
who qualifies
Software & SaaS
Design optimization, prototyping, materials testing.
Manufacturing
Businesses developing products, improving technology, or solving engineering challenges may qualify for significant federal and state credits.
Engineering & Architecture
Process improvements, automation, new product development.
The R&D credit isn’t just for labs and biotech. The IRS defines qualified research broadly: any work to develop or improve a product, process, software, technique, or formulation that involves technical uncertainty and experimentation. That covers a lot more SMBs than most CPAs realize.
Food & Beverage
Construction
Agriculture & Biotech
New features, algorithms, integrations, performance work
Crop optimization, breeding programs, lab work.
Formulation, shelf-life, packaging, production scale-up.
Custom builds, sustainable methods, structural innovation.
