Using All Available Tools for Our Clients' Success

MuniStrategies' Partners have experience starting, financing and operating business in communities throughout Mississippi. We seek to avail our clients of every possible tax-advantaged incentive to create projects that may not be possible without them.

New Markets Tax Credits

As a Mississippi-based Certified Development Entity (CDE), MuniStrategies is primarily focused on helping Mississippi businesses utilize incentives associated with the New Markets Tax Credit program. Additionally, MuniStrategies' principals helped craft the Mississippi New Markets Tax Credit legislation, passed in April of 2007. The firm is an emerging expert in this newly legislated financing vehicle and can help businesses and CDEs navigate the regulatory hurdles this program presents.

Historic Tax Credits

Many of Mississippi's small towns have underutilized or abandoned historic structures that are available to rehabilitate in conjunction with the use of state and federal Historic Tax Credits. MuniStrategies uses Historic Tax Credits in conjunction with New Markets Credits to create projects that rejuvenate “Main street” areas and spark growth.

Gap Financing

In addition to assisting businesses with utilizing tax-advantaged programs, MuniStrategies also has access to equity partners, debt financing and loan guarantees through a variety of sources and programs such as SBA and USDA. Bridging the gap between tax incentives and project viability is a key component to bringing a project in disadvantaged communities to reality.
