When businesses think about improving cash flow, they often look at reducing expenses, increasing sales, or extending payment terms. But there’s a powerful strategy hiding in plain sight—on your balance sheet.
It’s called cost segregation—and it can generate instant cash flow for property-owning employers.
What Is Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is an IRS-approved method that allows businesses to accelerate depreciation on certain components of a commercial or income-producing property.
Instead of depreciating everything over 27.5 or 39 years, cost segregation breaks a building down into parts—like flooring, lighting, HVAC, and landscaping—and assigns shorter depreciation periods (5, 7, or 15 years). The result? Larger deductions up front, and more cash in your pocket sooner.
Real Cash Flow. Real Fast.
Here’s how cost segregation boosts liquidity:
- A business purchases or renovates a building for $2 million
- Without cost seg: depreciation is around $51,000/year
- With cost seg: first-year depreciation jumps to $200,000–$400,000+
- That increased depreciation directly reduces taxable income
- Result: a reduced tax bill and more retained cash for reinvestment
Who Should Consider Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is ideal for employers who:
- Own or lease commercial properties or real estate
- Recently acquired, renovated, or constructed a building
- Have $500,000+ in property basis
- Want to improve cash flow without taking on debt or equity dilution
Perfect candidates include:
- Hotel & hospitality operators
- Office and industrial landlords
- Medical and dental practice owners
- Construction firms with real estate assets
- Franchise and retail businesses
- Multifamily apartment owners
- Golf courses, gyms, and recreation centers
