PCDE stands out by offering equity-like financing mechanisms that are negotiated at rates lower than market rates, with extended amortization periods, and other flexible terms. These investments not only benefit PCDE but also contribute to an overall improvement in product offerings, providing qualified businesses with enhanced access to capital and on favorable terms. The organization has strategically leveraged its successful track record in providing NMTC products and services to cultivate a robust pipeline of potential investments and financial structures. This pipeline, valued at over $200 million, undergoes careful review by PCDE’s governing board.
PCDE allocates 100% of capital generated by New Market Tax Credit initiatives to finance real estate activities. The primary focus remains on healthcare, education, and opportunities generating high-quality employment for low-income individuals and residents of low-income communities. PCDE provides capital ranging from $2 to $10 million to disadvantaged businesses in LICs across a national service area, with a specific emphasis on severely distressed areas in various states.
The organization targets businesses that not only create significant job opportunities but also offer additional benefits such as living wages, training, healthcare, and retirement programs to their employees. In essence, PCDE emerges as a client-centric boutique consulting firm, distinguished by its strategic approach and commitment to fostering positive impacts in the communities we serve.
