After your ROBS-funded business is operational, the C-Corporation may reimburse you for setup costs incurred during the formation process. There are two methods.

​
When the Option Appears

Once your business is funded, your post-funding dashboard activates. The fee reimbursement election appears in the Action Required section (Zone 2) of that dashboard. You can elect your preferred method at any time after funding is confirmed.

​
Reimbursement Options

The C-Corporation pays you $5,000 in cash to reimburse the setup fee.How it works:
  • Board resolution authorizes the reimbursement
  • Payment is made from corporate funds to you
  • May be treated as a business expense if it qualifies under applicable tax rules
  • Tax treatment should be confirmed with your CPA or tax advisor
Best for: When the corporation has sufficient cash flow and you prefer an immediate cash reimbursement.

​
Required Documentation

Regardless of method, you need:

Board ResolutionCorporate authorization for the reimbursement
Receipt/InvoiceDocumentation of the fees being reimbursed

Nexus generates the required reimbursement records when you elect fee reimbursement from your dashboard.

Tax Treatment

Setup-fee reimbursement may be treated as a C-Corporation business expense if it qualifies under applicable tax rules, including IRC 162. Talcott Forge does not provide tax advice or prepare tax returns. Confirm the treatment with your CPA or tax advisor before relying on a deduction.

​
When to Elect

Fee reimbursement is available after your ROBS funding is complete. The election option appears in the Action Required section of your post-funding dashboard.
