Bucks County Businesses & TAX FREE Financing?

Tax-Free Financing

The Bucks County Industrial Development Authority can prove an attractive mechanism for financing new business and related expansions through the Industrial Revenue Bond and Mortgage Program. This program provides capital financing for manufacturing companies such as exempt facilities and non- profit organizations. This can be achieved either through tax free mortgages for smaller projects or a stand-alone bond issue for larger ones. Both of these approaches can significantly reduce borrowing costs.

These funds can be used for a wide array of purposes including acquisition, site preparation, infrastructure improvements, building construction, new machinery and equipment, and the closing and soft costs traditionally associated with such projects. Job creation is also required, with both new and existing full-time permanent jobs at the project site being counted for this program.

More information on Tax-Free Financing, including minimums and maximums, what is considered exempt, and how you can apply can be found on the BCIDA website at: http://buckscountyida.com/services.php#tax-free-financing

Is it time to move your business to a better PA Office Complex?

According to federal to statistics, approximately 40 million dollars in annual revenue is relocated to a new address each year. Why is that? Well for starters, many entrepreneurs strongly believe that the grass is in fact greener on the other side. Therefore, picking up and moving their business to more vibrant pastures is exactly what is happening. The interesting news is that they are not alone; 40 million dollars worth of these changes are made each and every year.

Change is often associated with stress and to some this fear subsequently results in lack of growth and opportunity. Upgrading and expanding anything (in any capacity) requires additional room. The term expansion is also associated with “spreading out” or “increasing in volume”. Whether companies know it or not, this is the ultimate goal for a prosperous company. For business owners in Pennsylvania, this means transitioning to a Class A office complex. Moving into one of these buildings will not only impress customers but also increase productivity, assist with company branding and will  secure a more secure workforce. Scouting out a reputable and established PA office complex that maintains a Class A certification is the first step in realizing a lucrative future.

            Is it time to consider relocation?
5 main attributing factors when relocating a company
- Employee growth potential and workforce
- Desire to tap into new markets
- The need for upgraded/quality services
- More desirable company image and branding capability
- Better accommodations required for daily operation



For large corporations and specialty practices, we already know that location is very important in enticing qualified and experienced individuals to work for them. Many potential employees will pass judgement on a company based on the location and automatically deem it good or bad based on the address alone. If the work force is doing this, one can only imagine  what potential customers and clients are thinking.

For growing and expanding entrepreneurs, however, establishing your business in a Class A PA Office Complex brings some amazing benefits and in some cases, cost savings. Companies relocating to a professionally managed location can come to expect all maintenance issues, landscaping and weather related services to be taken care of, but that is not nearly all. As an example, the Neshaminy Interplex located in Bucks County, offers the most desirable office suites and has inconstantly ranked #1 in the state for PA commercial property for rent. What makes them different than the rest? Take a look at the extensive list of amenities offered to the tenants in this prestigious complex:

Cost is one of the main reasons for concern when it comes to relocating an established company. Keep in mind that leasing within any PA office complex maintains a certain level of competition. This means that when you move or upgrade to a large facility, you can come to expect the business to move and expand as well. Your level of competition will evolve as the company is now open to a larger market and audience.

There are many circumstances and financial issues to address when it comes to the evolution of business. The goal of expansion seems to be a topic that is taken off of the table, but should not be. Whether this year or years to come, this should always be part of the overall annual marketing plan for all business types and models.
