What Is ERC Business Solutions?

ERC Business Solutions provides Employee Retention Tax Credit services to business owners that are eligible to receive this refundable tax credit. The company states that it has worked with thousands of businesses and continues to assist clients with maximizing their ERC refunds.

While ERC Business Solutions seems like other ERC companies on the surface, there are a few concerning issues to keep in mind before proceeding. Keep reading to learn more.

ERC Business Solutions Services

ERC Business Solutions specializes in helping eligible small businesses claim the ERC. No additional services are provided.

ERC Business Solutions Fees

ERC Business Solutions does not disclose any information about its fees for claiming the ERC on behalf of businesses. The company does state that fees aren’t paid until you receive your refund. This information isn’t clearly posted on the website and can instead be found on the website’s animated explainer video.

Due to this lack of transparency (and no user reviews to indicate whether fees or competitive), ERC Business Solutions received a low score in this area. The company does get a few points for offering a free ERC analysis.

For more transparent ERC fees, check out Innovation Refunds or Omega Accounting which both offer competitive pricing structures.

ERC Business Solutions Features

Compared to other ERC companies, ERC Business Solutions falls far behind, which is reflected in our rating.

ERC Business Solutions ERC Refund Process & Timeline

ERC Business Solutions appears to have an easy ERC claim process. The first step is to get in touch with the company for your free ERC analysis by filling out a short online form. If you qualify, you can get on a call with the company to discuss additional details.

Once you decide to move forward, you’ll sign an agreement with the company (make sure to read it over if you’ve made it this far) and submit documentation and information. This will be used to calculate the amount of your refund. ERC Business Solutions will complete your forms and submit them to the IRS for processing. Funds will be disbursed in the next few months, although it could potentially take one year or longer.

While most ERC companies provide a general timeline for how long the process takes from analysis to IRS submission, ERC Business Solutions does not provide this information. We rated the company accordingly due to the lack of transparency.

ERC Business Solutions Customer Service

ERC Business Solutions can be reached by phone, email, or through an online form.

The company does have a LinkedIn page, but it contains very little information about the business and has no posts. ERC Business Solutions was rated poorly for customer service as the company does not have any videos, FAQs, or other resources that you’d find with other ERC companies. There are also no online reviews to indicate the quality of customer service.

ERC Business Solutions Reviews

ERC Business Solutions reviews are nonexistent. The company doesn’t feature any testimonials on its website, and third-party review sites have no reviews for ERC Business Solutions. These factors are reflected in our rating.

There is, however, a Better Business Bureau profile linked to the toll-free phone number listed on ERC Solutions’ website. This listing is under the name “Erg Business Solutions LLC” and has a single one-star review. According to this ERC Business Solutions BBB profile, the business is not accredited.

ERC Business Solutions Complaints

There’s one negative review on the BBB profile. This review states that the company has an issue with its phone number. Upon further inspection, the phone number does appear to work and is answered by an automated system.

There is also a review on ScamAdviser, which has flagged the ERC Business Solutions website as suspicious due to the lack of owner information, the age of the website, and other factors. The review states that the company has repeatedly texted, called, emailed, and sent mailers despite being asked to stop.

Positive ERC Business Solutions Reviews

As noted, there are no positive reviews to be found for ERC Business Solutions. Some positive aspects could potentially include:

• Free ERC analysis
• Referral program
• Call scheduling for ERC analysis

Is ERC Business Solutions Worth It?

Choosing the right ERC company to retroactively claim your ERC refund is essential to keeping more money in your pocket and avoiding issues with the IRS further down the road.

Unfortunately, when it comes to choosing the right ERC company, ERC Business Solutions just doesn’t make the cut. Despite claims of working with thousands of clients, there are no positive reviews of the company to be found. Instead, there are two negative reviews, including one on ScamAdviser, which has flagged this company as being suspicious due to its lack of information.

Furthermore, ERC Business Solutions only provides generic information about its services, has a website containing numerous grammatical errors, and has no information about the history of the company. It has no social media presence, and it also doesn’t offer the ERC resources like videos, FAQs, ERC calculators, and blog posts that its competitors do.

For these reasons, Merchant Maverick does not recommend working with ERC Business Solutions. If you’re exploring your options, make sure to do your research and ask questions before making a commitment.
