Withum Tax Lunch & Learn: Maximizing Tax Incentives for Growth-Stage Life Sciences Companies

​Join Withum's tax specialists for an insightful Lunch & Learn focused on two of the most valuable tax incentives available to emerging and high-growth life sciences companies: Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) and the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit.

​Whether you're developing groundbreaking technologies, raising capital, or planning for future liquidity events, understanding these incentives can have a significant impact on your company's growth strategy and long-term value. Learn how early-stage decisions around entity structure, equity issuance, and compliance can help preserve valuable QSBS benefits that may allow shareholders to exclude up to 100% of eligible capital gains. We'll also explore how companies can leverage the R&D Tax Credit to offset federal tax liabilities—or even generate immediate cash flow benefits through payroll tax offsets of up to $500,000 annually.

​During this interactive session, you'll gain practical insights into:

• ​Maximizing QSBS opportunities through proactive planning and structuring

• ​Common pitfalls that can jeopardize valuable tax benefits

• ​Identifying qualifying R&D activities and expenses

• ​Monetizing R&D credits even when operating at a loss

• ​Tax strategies that help fuel innovation, growth, and investor value

​Enjoy lunch, connect with fellow innovators and walk away with actionable strategies that could help your company reduce taxes, improve cash flow and position itself for long-term success.

​Who Should Attend: Founders, CEOs, CFOs, finance leaders, investors and life sciences professionals interested in optimizing tax incentives and enhancing enterprise value.

​This program will be streamed for our friends at 135 Mississippi.
