Can I write off branding consultant services?

Branding consultant services are deductible as a business expense if they are directly related to your business operations and are considered ordinary (common and accepted in your trade) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for your business). For example, if you hire a consultant to develop a brand strategy or design a logo for your business, these expenses would typically qualify. However, if the services are for personal purposes or not directly related to your business, they would not be deductible.
