Administration

Companies need to focus their resources and energy on their growth projects. We manage the administrative details of economic business assistance programs minimizing the need for staff time while providing multiple occasions for work product oversight.

Economic Business Assistance Strategies and Negotiation

Our economic business assistance life cycle services are customized to your project. We research the spectrum of business assistance at all levels of government and assess their potential for contribution to your project. We then define a strategy which will produce the best and most desired combination of benefits.

Compliance

Our economic assistance compliance services manage the ongoing company reporting obligations. Business assistance commitments and contract execution are only a portion of the process that ensures dollars committed to your project are dollars received. Centralized management of your compliance obligations means there is one source to contact for all assistance program questions, compliance status updates and expected benefit timetable.

We Listen

Defining a strategy best suited to your company comes with understanding who you are.

We impact your bottom line

by staying focused on realizable benefits and using our system for tracking the details.

We represent continuity

Our client relationships typically span decades and several projects.

We see the big picture

and miss none of the details.

Why Us

Our Process

Our system is designed to provide the maximum realizable economic assistance benefit. This is achieved by first understanding the unique elements of your project, then by developing a strategy with your input and finally by being persistent.
The dual challenge of economic assistance programs is having an appreciation for the larger economic desires of the community in which a project occurs while being able to focus on the details. Only under these circumstances are the maximum benefits realized.
Our Process

Sample Benefits Realized

Each economic assistance program has eligibility criteria, application and compliance obligations during the active period of the program. The specifics of any one program are unique to that program. It is for this reason that the “when” benefits will be received varies.

In general, training and infrastructure grant programs tend to be front loaded cash benefits realized within a year or two of the initiation of the project. Tax related incentive programs typically have a longer ramping up of the program and thus are considered more of a downstream benefit.
