Are There Different IC-Disc Options?


While we’ve introduced you to the basic history of the IC-DISC and how the program is utilized to help exporters maximize their potential income, we’ve really just started digging into everything there is to know about the program.

Are there different IC-DISC options for you to choose from? With Export Advisors, there are. We’ll walk you through our three IC-DISC options, designed to let you decide which works best for your business.

Basic, Premier, Or Concierge: You Decide

Because of the complexity of the DISC, it’s impossible for us to state definitively in a blog post what option would be right for you.

If you see an option listed that looks like the choice you would make, feel free to contact us to check out our quick and easy Potential Savings Calculator over here on our qualification page. You’ll be able to get a look at your potential savings when you utilize this financial incentive for exporters, and it’ll give you a good idea of where we’ll get started when you contact us.

Export Advisors offers three different options when it comes to the IC-DISC, so you’re in control of setup implementation, and continued maintenance, right at your comfort level:

  • Option 1: Basic IC-DISC. This choice tends to work best for business owners looking for a low-cost solution. The downside is that the business owner maintains responsibility for managing the IC-DISC, which takes time and focus away from the business itself.
  • Option 2: Premium IC-DISC: For business owners who don’t have the time or inclination to totally manage the DISC program on their own, Option 2 involves outsourcing the IC-DISC management for a fixed annual fee.
  • Option 3: Concierge IC-DISC: This is our most popular option, because it’s totally turn-key. Management of the IC-DISC is outsourced, financial risks are minimized, and the net tax savings are maximized to the utmost of what the program offers.

As you can see, these three options let you essentially customize your IC-DISC implementation.

The Concierge option may cost more, but it comes with the added benefit of involving minimal effort on your part, as we maintain the management and the details for you. The other two options are perfect for business owners still concerned about the IC-DISC or who like to be heavily involved in the management process.

Already Have an Existing IC-DISC?

Even if you’re a current client utilizing a Basic or Premier option, you can always contact us to speak about upgrading to Concierge as your business grows.

We’re able to scale your IC-DISC program to grow alongside you, and our unique fee structure ensures that you know everything about the cost of your IC-DISC before the program is implemented and operating.

If you already have an existing IC-DISC that is not managed by a firm that focuses exclusively on the program, you may not be receiving the full benefits you are entitled to. In that case, our free ebook may help point you in the right direction.

The Four Biggest (And Likely Unknown) Dangers of the IC-DISC walks you through potential risks of already-existing IC-DISC programs and tells you what steps you can take to minimize risk and maximize after-tax savings.
