Municipalities and government agencies face a plethora of decisions and obstacles in planning and financing future and current real estate, economic development and public work project needs. Most capital expenditure decisions by municipalities are, in reality, financial decisions. Once a municipality concludes it needs a particular asset in order to operate effectively and meet the needs of the community, the project decision has been made. The next decision is strictly financial.

Our proprietary process of deploying capital is more than just a cost-effective alternative to investing in commercial real estate. It is a capital management tool that allows corporations and municipalities to use and control essential real estate assets without employing prohibitive amounts of debt and equity capital in an illiquid, poorly perceived asset class.

National Standard has revolutionized and simplified this process.

We remove the obstacles by:

• Eliminating the need for debt/bond financing
• Removing the requirement for equity and out of pocket upfront investment;
• Bypassing the need for time consuming referendum votes or Congressional Appropriation
                 Approvals
• Making capital available in as little as 60-90 days from application and approval
• Removing limitations of the amount of financing from bonding capacity limits
• Eliminating concerns related to long term finance costs and interest rate fluctuations

Unlock capital trapped in under-performing real estate that is otherwise illiquid

National Standard assumes the financial liability of the project costs and you retain freedom and full control over the property or asset just as you would in ownership. The only requirement and obligation of the municipality is a lease for real estate assets or an annual contract service payment for non-real estate assets. These payments are considered part of the municipalities operating budget instead of long term liability/debt.
