Is Your Business Ready to Acquire or Sell? A Founder’s Pre-Deal Checklist
Whether you're considering a sale, planning an acquisition, or simply exploring what comes next, this conversation will shed light on the realities that most advisors discuss only behind closed doors. We'll talk about how to recognize when the timing is truly right to buy or sell, what buyers are actually evaluating during a transaction, and the common blind spots that first-time acquirers often discover too late. We'll also explore the preparation mistakes that can significantly impact deal value and outcomes, as well as what life looks like after the transaction, whether that means stepping away from a business you've built or integrating one you've just acquired. If buying, selling, or deciding on your next move is on your mind, this is a conversation worth joining. No slides. No sales pitch. Just an honest discussion about what really matters.

Government Programs and Subsidies Available to ACEC Members in the AI Supply Chain & Data Center Infrastructure Buildout
The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is driving one of the largest capital buildouts in modern history, and the federal government has put incentives, programs, and subsidies in place to ensure the United States continues to lead on AI. ACEC Arizona members are at the center of this work, but most are significantly underutilizing these programs meant to subsidize the work they are already doing in this space. Programs such as Section 41, Section 48, advanced manufacturing incentives like Sections 48C and 48X, energy infrastructure credits Section 48A, energy efficient building deduction 179D, and production credits Section 45 are all highly relevant to data center and AI infrastructure projects. When combined with state and local incentives—such as hiring credits, abatements, and location-based subsidies, the financial impact can materially improve project economics and firm profitability.

IRS Denied your ERC Claim – Now what?
The IRS has released another round of ERC notices, disallowing claims. We expect this is just the tip of the iceberg and hundreds of thousands more claims could be denied. If one of your clients receives an IRS letter, they only have 30 days to respond, otherwise they will face stiff penalties.
