Numerous hospitality businesses in Georgia have funds they're owed from the federal government that are just waiting to be claimed. It's called the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and is an invaluable lifeline. Unlike other pandemic relief programs, the ERC is not a loan but a refund of taxes you've already paid, which means that it doesn't need to be paid back and has no restrictions on how you can use it. Hotels and hospitality industry-related businesses are eligible for up to $26,000 per full-time employee. Here's what you need to qualify: 1) Have between 1 - 500 W2 employees; 2) Kept at least two employees on the payroll; and 3) Experienced shutdowns OR needed to operate at reduced capacity. Adesso Capital's team of tax experts has retrieved over $600 million in ERC funds for businesses across the country, averaging $150,000 in tax relief per client. They'll take care of the entire process so that you can focus on what matters most: growing your business. Visit Adesso’s GHLA-member website to take a 3-minute qualification quiz to see how much you're owed and to learn more about retrieving these much-needed funds.
