Intermediary/Franchise Development

In many cases, to create efficiencies in community economic development, NEOF has determined that the best course of action is to help develop a customized community development financial institution which then concentrates on local/regional priorities. NEOF can also provide a temporary staffing solution while capacity is developing.

Asset Management

Whether a local/regional intermediary is providing for the distribution of IDA's, Micro-Lending, Small Business Loans or Venture Investments, both public and private investors demand accurate and timely reporting. NEOF has custom designed asset management systems and also maintains relationships with third party asset managers. NEOF can design and benchmark systems to suit multiple investor requirements.

Financing Strategies

Because a scarcity of resources typically exists, communities must prioritize their local needs and then focus energy on developing strategies to reach realistic goals. NEOF helps stretch local resources by lending its creativity and experience in the financing arena and developing an executable strategy for obtaining grants, subordinated debt and equity.

Tax Credits

NEOF has in depth experience in providing strategic financing plans for IRS Section 42 and Section 45 transactions. In this market segment, NEOF has successfully organized and implemented public/private partnerships involving tax credit transactions and raised over $220 million in equity capital for 100+ projects nationally.

Consulting

NEOF is available for limited consulting assignments which focus on its core competencies. Our history includes assignments to review the efficiencies of existing programs as well as acting as a catalyst for new initiatives.
