Where Ohio businesses lose money
BWC workers comp class miscoding
$5K–$80KOhio BWC is a state monopoly — no private market. Class code reviews recover 15-30% premium overpayment.
CAT optimization (gross receipts tax)
$2K–$25K0.26% CAT applies above $1M. Many businesses over-include exempt receipts or miss the small-business threshold.
InvestOhio Tax Credit
$5K–$1M10% credit on equity investments held 2+ years in OH small businesses. Often missed by qualifying owners.
State-specific incentives most Ohio owners miss
- Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit
- InvestOhio Tax Credit
- Research and Development Investment Credit
Plus all federal programs (R&D credit, Section 179, WOTC, QBI deduction, SBA loans).
Ohio BWC class corrections alone return thousands to most multi-employee businesses. CAT and InvestOhio further compound for qualifying operators.
