Our team offers site selection expertise and identifies often overlooked incentive value to firm portfolios or target companies ready to relocate, expand, make capital investments, or add new jobs. Given the volume of new acquisitions, ongoing capital investment, and hiring that can occur each year and necessity for speed through deals, our team maintains an ongoing dialogue with our private equity partners to help firms meet long-term goals.

What are Economic Development Credits and Incentives?

To attract and retain growing businesses, state and local governments provide valuable economic incentives, which include tax abatements, payroll tax credits, infrastructure grants, low- or no-interest loans, training grants, and tax increment financing. These state and local incentives provide many opportunities for private equity firms to increase cash flow and value of portfolio companies.

How We Support Private Equity Firms

Pre-Acquisition

  • Due diligence: evaluating the target companies’ existing incentives to determine carry-over applicability, requirements, and associated risks
  • Determining if transactions will create opportunities for new credits and incentives

Post-Acquisition

  • Incentive analysis for facility consolidation/relocation, CAPEX/PP&E and workforce expansion/relocation
  • Site selection
  • Negotiations
  • Reporting

When Should Portfolio Companies Pursue Incentives?

  • Adding 15 or more jobs over five years
  • Buying, leasing, expanding or building a facility
  • Purchasing $1 million or more in new equipment
  • Acquiring or merging with another business
  • Relocating operations
