State Incentives

Fresno County Regional Enterprise Zone

The EZ Tax Credit was established by the State of California to provide businesses the opportunity to create additional jobs, access more resources, and increase overall profitability through tax savings. The tax credit can save employers up to $36,600 per qualified employee. Incredibly, fewer than 15% of qualified businesses know about, much less take advantage of, this tremendous incentive. The EZ tax credit can significantly add to your company’s bottom line, making it a smart way to grow your business!
