CBO Financial

Services

We can assist you in planning and securing financing for your projects.

New Markets Tax Credits

The primary focus of CBO Financial is helping low-income communities to experience economic revitalization through the application of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. NMTC investors make investments in companies known as Community Development Entities (CDEs) that in turn make loans to businesses in low-income communities.

Borrowers

Provide capital where previously unavailable to qualified borrowers.

Investors

NMTC essentially guarantees return of investment plus a return on the investment.

To States, Municipalities, and/or EDAs

Opportunity to combine public funding with tax credits to induce development.

Bringing Private Capital to Disinvested Communities

One of the persistent economic challenges that communities living with low incomes across the nation face is the lack of access to private investment capital for local business and real estate projects, especially in communities of color.

New Markets Tax Credit Program Advantages

  • Intended for financing projects in disinvested areas
  • Flexible financing optiones designed to support a spectrum of beneficial social projects
  • Promotes private investments; enabling multi-million-dollar financing deals
  • Affordable loans with conditions and terms that tend to be more favorable than traditional financing.
  • Offers investors federal tax credits
