Testimonials

Bottom Line Concepts has been an amazing partner who has helped with cost savings as well as tracking down funds which belong to us. Even with our thorough review of vendors and relationships they have been able to shed light in areas where we thought we could not improve any further. They have an extremely professional and reliable team that is always ready to help. Looking forward to building the relationship further and finding additional cost savings.

The Government Programs that are part of the Cares Act can be very daunting and confusing to understand. Our franchisees were getting a lot of mixed messages and we were looking for a firm that could help educate them and guide them through the process. Bottom Line was extremely patient and diligent working individually with most of our franchisees to maximize their money during the pandemic. They were a great partner and we look forward to a long-lasting relationship.

We have worked with Bottom Line on a number of savings and refunds projects. Each of their programs required very little time and effort on our side, while delivering great results. Their team has always been courteous and attentive to our needs. Whenever we have needed something, they have gotten back to us right away. After all these years of working with them, we’re happy that we hired them.

We engaged the services of Bottom Line to assist us squeeze savings out of certain expense items – and they were successful in areas where we had no such awareness. While they scoured for additional savings opportunities, we initiated a major restructuring – and Bottom Line was both flexible and understanding of the impact that had on some of the savings’ opportunities that they were approaching. I highly recommend their services.

GNC started their partnership with Bottom Line Concepts in late 2019 with a simple call from the CEO and founder of the company, Josh Fox. The staff at Bottom Line Concepts made the contract and onboarding process easy. Since late 2019, Bottom Line Concepts has been able to recover a substantial amount of unclaimed property for GNC. GNC continues to explore additional opportunities with Bottom Line Concepts and I would like to thank them for their efforts and great partnership.

FAQs

What period does the program cover?

The program began on March 13th, 2020, and ends on September 30, 2021 for eligible employers.

You can apply for refunds for 2020 and 2021 after December 31st of this year, into 2022 and 2023. And potentially beyond then, too.

We have clients who received refunds only, and others that, in addition to refunds, also qualified to continue receiving ERC in every
payroll they process through December 31, 2021 at about 30% of their payroll cost.

We have clients who have received refunds from $100,000 to $6 million.

Can I qualify for ERC if I’m a 1099 contractor?

Unfortunately, no. This program is only for companies who paid W2 wages to non-owners.

What if I have bad credit? Is there a credit check involved?

It’s not a loan – it’s a tax credit, so it doesn’t matter. There are no credit checks, collateral, or personal guarantees required.

Do we still qualify if we already took the PPP loan?

Yes. Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, businesses can now qualify for the ERC even if they already received a
PPP loan. Note, though, that the ERC will only apply to wages not used for the PPP.

Do we still qualify if we did not incur a 20% decline in gross receipts?

Your business qualifies for the ERC if it falls under one of the following:

1. A government authority required partial or full shutdown of your business during 2020 or 2021. This includes your operations
being limited by commerce, inability to travel, or restrictions of group meetings.

2. Gross receipt reduction criteria is different for 2020 and 2021, but is measured against the current
quarter as compared to 2019 pre-COVID amounts.

Do we still qualify if we remained open during the pandemic?

Yes. To qualify, your business must meet either one of the following criteria:

1. Experienced a decline in gross receipts by 20%, or

2. Had to change business operations due to government orders

3. Many items are considered as changes in business operations, including shifts in job
roles and the purchase of extra protective equipment.
