American Moving & Installation is proud to be the only 100% women-owned union commercial mover in Massachusetts.
In our state, there are tax incentives and programs that encourage companies to hire women-owned businesses like American Moving & Installation for corporate office, bioscience & healthcare, hotel & hospitality, or higher education relocations. We've gathered some information for you to learn more about these opportunities:
Supplier Diversity Program Tax Credit: Massachusetts offers a tax credit to businesses that participate in the Supplier Diversity Program. This program encourages companies to engage with minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and disability-owned businesses. Eligible businesses can claim a credit equal to 10% of the certified supplier diversity purchases, up to a maximum of $100,000 per year. https://www.mass.gov/supplier-diversity-program-sdp
Small Business Purchasing Program: Massachusetts has a Small Business Purchasing Program, which encourages state agencies to purchase goods and services from small businesses, including women-owned and minority-owned businesses. While not a direct tax incentive, this program can create more opportunities for these businesses and support their growth. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/learn-about-the-small-business-purchasing-program-sbpp
Workforce Training Fund: The Workforce Training Fund offers grants to Massachusetts businesses for employee training and development. Companies that hire women-owned or minority-owned businesses for relocation-related services may be eligible to receive training grants to enhance the skills of their workforce. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/workforce-training-fund-programs-wtfp
Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) Tax Incentives: The Economic Opportunity Area program provides tax incentives to businesses relocating or expanding in designated areas of Massachusetts. While these incentives are not specific to hiring women-owned or minority-owned businesses, they can provide financial benefits for overall relocation projects that incorporate such businesses. https://www.mass.gov/service-details/economic-opportunity-area-credit-eoac
