Curious How Innovative Start-Ups Are Saving Thousands on Taxes Each Year?
Start-ups are notorious for their scrappy tactics and innovative growth techniques. However, many start-ups may not be aware of the tax credits and incentives available to them. Certain tax credits can be the difference of thousands of dollars saved each year in taxes. According to Josh Alballero, tax expert and founder of IOOGO, “The R&D tax credit is one of the greatest tax credits available to start-ups and small businesses.”
The R&D credit, is officially known as the “Credit for Increasing Research Activities” this credit is available to start-ups in any industry, and in many cases, you do not even need to have a research and development department to qualify for the credit! Many start-ups miss out on this incredible incentive because they assume they won’t qualify, however, if you’re in the process of creating a new product or service, there is a good chance your business is an ideal candidate.
According to Alballero, there are two major benefits of the R&D credit.
- This credit can give you resources you otherwise wouldn’t have access to. One of the most important stages when bringing a new product or process to the market is the research and development stage. Some start-ups won’t spend enough time on this stage due to a lack of resources, staff, or funding. This credit can put much-needed money back in your pocket to allow you to focus on this crucial phase of building your business.
- The R&D credit covers a variety of expenses. This credit may be applied to costs you’d never considered, wages, supplies, consultant fees, contractor fee, prototyping, tooling/ supply expenses, packaging, surveys, studies, software costs, equipment, and more! The stipulations of this credit allow businesses to apply up to $250,000 of their research expenses against their payroll tax or income tax for up to five years. This means that businesses could expect to get back around 10 – 15% of what they spent on R&D.
Calculating R&D credit can be quite complicated and in most cases, business owners should consult the expertise of a tax professional or accounting firm. The IRS will look closely at any business’s R&D credit, so it is important that you follow the proper protocol. The tax experts at IOOGO specialize in R&D credit matters and can ensure you’re following federal regulations and taking full advantage of the credits available to you. In order to file for the R&D credit, a business will be required to file Form 6765 with their tax return. This filing process should not be costly and business owners should be wary of any accounting or tax firm that attempts to charge them thousands of dollars for this filing process or even a percentage of the savings in payroll taxes, which is an illegal process.

TrueData Solutions LLC Founder Del Andujar Responds to Europe’s Growing Digital Privacy Concerns
For years, internet privacy discussions centered around targeted advertising, browser tracking, and social media data collection. But a new debate is beginning to reshape the cybersecurity industry entirely: identity verification laws.
Across Europe, governments and digital platforms are increasingly introducing systems that require users to verify their identity or age before accessing certain online services. Supporters argue these systems improve online safety and accountability. Critics argue they may also normalize a future where anonymity online becomes increasingly difficult.
That tension is now creating new opportunities — and new responsibilities — for cybersecurity and privacy companies worldwide.
Among the firms responding to this shift is TrueData Solutions LLC, a Wyoming-based cybersecurity company founded in 2025 by Del Andujar. The company recently announced plans to expand infrastructure and operations into Europe as digital privacy concerns continue growing throughout the region.
The expansion arrives during a particularly sensitive moment in global technology policy.
Recent discussions surrounding European age verification systems have raised broader questions about how personal identification data will be stored, protected, and potentially shared. Privacy advocates have warned that even well-intentioned verification systems can create centralized repositories of sensitive personal information that may become vulnerable to misuse or breaches.
According to reporting from Tech Policy Press, experts have increasingly expressed concern that identity verification requirements may carry privacy implications extending beyond basic data confidentiality.
For privacy-focused companies, the issue reflects a major transformation in how consumers view digital safety.
Historically, many users treated online privacy as secondary to convenience. But growing awareness around data breaches, identity theft, and public data exposure has changed public perception significantly over the last decade.
TrueData’s business model directly addresses those concerns.
The company allows individuals to search for publicly leaked information connected to themselves and assists users in opting out from data broker platforms that collect and distribute personal details online. Unlike many competitors within the cybersecurity industry, TrueData offers its primary opt-out assistance services free of charge.
That approach has become central to the company’s identity.
While many privacy services operate behind subscription paywalls, TrueData positions accessibility as part of its broader mission to help individuals regain control over their digital footprint regardless of financial barriers.
The company also provides secondary cybersecurity services such as virtual private networks designed to improve browsing security and network privacy.
As Europe continues debating digital identity enforcement policies, cybersecurity providers may increasingly become intermediaries between governments, platforms, and consumers attempting to protect their information online.
Industry observers believe the broader privacy economy could expand dramatically over the next several years as identity-linked internet systems become more common globally.
In that environment, companies focused on transparency and user trust may gain a competitive advantage over firms relying heavily on aggressive monetization strategies or opaque data practices.
For founder Del Andujar, the issue extends beyond cybersecurity trends alone. It reflects a deeper concern about whether ordinary internet users will retain meaningful control over how their information is collected, indexed, and distributed online.
As digital identity increasingly becomes tied to daily internet access, that question may soon affect nearly every user online — not just cybersecurity professionals.
