ERTC Advance for Landscaping Companies
Your landscaping company filed for Employee Retention Tax Credit months ago. The refund could be $20,000-$150,000 or more based on crew retention through COVID. The IRS says 6-12 months processing. An ERTC advance lets you access most of that refund now for equipment or growth.

Understanding ERTC for Landscaping
The Employee Retention Tax Credit provided significant refunds to landscaping companies that maintained crews through COVID disruptions. IRS processing backlogs create long waits for approved refunds.
Landscaping ERTC Eligibility
Landscaping companies qualified for ERTC through revenue reduction tests or government shutdown orders affecting operations. Many maintained seasonal crews despite reduced client activity.
Crew Retention Credits
Each retained crew member generated ERTC. A 10-person crew through COVID periods could generate $50,000-$150,000+ in credits depending on wages and retention periods.
Processing Reality
IRS ERTC processing currently takes 6-12+ months due to massive filing volume. Landscaping claims face the same delays as all industries.
How Advances Work
ERTC advance providers evaluate your filed claim, verify legitimacy, and advance 70-90% of expected refund. When IRS pays, the advance is repaid plus fees.
The ERTC Waiting Problem
Landscaping company ERTC refunds are stuck in IRS processing backlogs.
IRS Processing Delays
Filed your ERTC claim many months ago. Still waiting. The IRS says 6-12 months, but many claims take longer.
Equipment Waiting
That ERTC refund could fund new mowers, a truck, or fleet expansion. Instead it sits in IRS processing.
Pre-Season Timing
Spring approaches and you need capital. ERTC refund would fund preparation, but IRS timing is uncertain.
Opportunity Cost
Money in IRS processing is money not working in your company. Equipment, growth, and preparation wait while the refund sits idle.
Uncertain Timeline
No way to predict exactly when your refund arrives. Could be two months or eight more months.
Growth Constraints
You could expand with that refund, but it is stuck waiting for IRS processing.

Meadow View Landscaping
Full-Service Landscaping, Colorado
The Challenge
Meadow View filed $85,000 in ERTC claims based on maintaining their 8-person crew through significant revenue reduction. Filed 10 months ago, still waiting. They wanted to use the refund for a new truck and equipment.
The Solution
We reviewed the ERTC filing and advanced $68,000 (80% of claimed amount). Fee structure meant approximately $58,000 net after IRS payment.
The Result
Meadow View purchased a new truck and upgraded two mowers immediately. Equipment was working and generating revenue before spring season. When IRS paid 6 months later, the advance settled automatically.
“I could wait another year for the full refund or take $68,000 now and have equipment ready for spring. The truck alone generates more profit than the advance cost.”
