Durham is the research and biotech heart of the Research Triangle, anchored by Duke University, Durham VA Medical Center, and the Research Triangle Park—the largest research park in the US. The city has become a hotbed for biotech startups, clinical research organizations, and tech companies drawn by world-class talent and relatively affordable living.
North Carolina's declining flat income tax rate is favorable for Durham entrepreneurs, and the concentration of R&D activity means many businesses qualify for valuable research tax credits. Biotech startups and consultants benefit from bookkeeping that tracks grant funding, clinical trial expenses, and specialized R&D deductions.
