What We Do

Core Services

From initial location screening to closing day incentive packages, Sloss provides integrated consulting that brings corporate strategy and government relationships together at the table.

Site Selection

Comprehensive location analysis spanning workforce availability, infrastructure, logistics, real estate, and community fit. We identify optimal sites across the country, ranked against your specific operational requirements.

Incentive Negotiation

Structuring and negotiating state and local incentive packages including tax credits, grants, abatements, and customized workforce programs. We know how governments think, and we know what's possible.

Credits & Incentives Review

Audit and analysis of existing statutory tax credit programs at the federal, state, and local level, including WOTC, R&D credits, and enterprise zone benefits. We identify dollars your team may be leaving on the table.

Government Affairs

Strategic navigation of state and local government stakeholders to build political support for your project. We work directly with economic development agencies, legislators, and community leaders to move projects forward.

Data-Driven Analysis

Proprietary modeling and benchmarking across labor markets, operating costs, incentive value, and long-term tax burden. Real numbers, not estimates, to support defensible location decisions at every level of your organization.

Compliance & Administration

Post-closing incentive compliance tracking, reporting, and management to ensure your company captures every dollar committed and avoids clawback exposure. We stay engaged long after the deal is signed.

Why Sloss

What Sets Us Apart

Institutional knowledge, government credibility, and a principal-led approach that big consulting firms cannot replicate.

Deep Government Relationships

Decades of direct relationship-building with state and local economic development officials, agency heads, and legislative staff across the country. We pick up the phone, and they answer.

Closing Complex Deals

A track record of negotiating and closing incentive packages that other advisors concluded were impossible. We stay in difficult rooms until the deal gets done.

Legal Precision

JD credentials with bar admission in two states means your incentive agreements and statutory compliance are reviewed with a lawyer's eye, not just a consultant's checklist.

Independent Advice

No institutional conflicts, no office politics, no billable-hour inflation. As an independent firm, our only objective is producing the best outcome for your project and your company.

Full Engagement Lifecycle

We partner from the earliest stages of location strategy through post-closing compliance, providing continuity and institutional memory that handoff-based engagements cannot match.

Principal-Led Service

You work directly with Andrew Sloss, not a junior associate. Senior judgment on every call, every submission, every negotiation session, start to finish.

How It Works

Our Process

A disciplined four-stage approach that moves from strategic alignment to closed incentive agreements, efficiently and transparently.

Discovery & Strategy

We start by understanding your project requirements, timeline, capital investment, job creation targets, and operational priorities to build a precise location criteria framework.

Market Screening

Data-driven analysis of qualifying communities, states, and specific sites, scored against your criteria with cost modeling and incentive opportunity assessment built in from the start.

Negotiation

Active, direct engagement with state and local officials to structure and negotiate the strongest possible incentive package, leveraging competitive dynamics between finalist communities.

Closing & Compliance

Agreement execution, documentation review, and an ongoing compliance framework to ensure every committed benefit is captured and every reporting obligation is met.
