Most of the market handles one piece of a tax credit. Study firms qualify it, marketplaces list it, lenders advance against it, insurers wrap it. Edge runs the whole path on one desk: we qualify the credit, build the file buyers underwrite, insure the risks that make them discount, and place it with credit-transfer counterparties or finance it before it is earned. The result is cash on terms you control, not the first bid a platform returns.
Buyers do not pay less for a credit because they want to. They pay less because of what they cannot see. Every cent between the bid and par traces back to one of four questions.
A transferee takes the credit subject to disallowance and recapture. If eligibility, basis, or a bonus adder fails on examination, the buyer carries the loss plus penalties. Thin documentation is priced as risk, and that risk comes straight off the purchase price.
Foreign Entity of Concern rules now gate §45X, §45Y, and §48E. Miss the material assistance threshold and the whole credit is lost, not a portion. Buyers are adding FEOC representations that many sellers cannot give without a traced supply chain. Read our analysis →
For most energy credits, the full rate depends on prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance. The difference is a five-times multiplier. Payroll records gathered after the fact rarely satisfy a buyer's counsel, and an unanswered question here can reprice the entire deal.
Most credits are earned when a project is placed in service or a product is sold. The capital is needed months or years earlier, during construction or ramp-up. A credit that can only be sold at the end does nothing for the balance sheet when it matters most.
We answer each of those four questions before a buyer asks them. That is the whole difference between a credit that gets bid and a credit that gets priced.
Qualification is not finished when the return is filed. We assemble the package a buyer's counsel actually reviews: eligibility and basis support, bonus adder evidence, prevailing wage and apprenticeship records, and FEOC tracing, organized the way diligence teams work through it.
Through our specialty insurance affiliate, Risk Capital Partners, we structure and place tax credit insurance against disallowance and recapture. An insured credit is one a buyer can underwrite without pricing in worst cases, which is where most of the discount lives.
We arrange forward commitments with credit-transfer counterparties and advance financing against signed transfer agreements, so construction or production can be funded from credits that will not be generated for another year or more.
Open marketplaces expose your project data to every bidder. We run a controlled process with a short list of vetted corporate buyers and credit-transfer counterparties, under NDA and non-circumvention terms with each, so pricing tension is created without broadcasting the deal.
A transfer sells the credit but leaves the depreciation with you. Tax equity captures both but costs more to raise. Hybrids sit in between. We model each route side by side, including the depreciation that cost segregation adds, and recommend the one that delivers the most cash net of cost.
Because Edge also structures debt, insurance wraps, and investor placement, credit proceeds are sized into the financing from day one. Lenders see a contracted credit as a repayment source, which can lift debt capacity and reduce the equity a project has to raise.
Developers, manufacturers, and fuel producers generating §45X, §48E, §45Y, §45Z, or §45Q credits who want the highest net price, cash earlier than the credit is earned, and a process that keeps their project data private.
Corporates with federal tax liability who want to buy credits below face value without taking on audit or recapture risk they cannot assess. We bring diligenced, insurable credits and structure the purchase on institutional terms.
The 2025 tax act shortened some windows and tightened others. Where each credit stands today:
Per-unit credits for U.S.-made solar, battery, inverter, and critical mineral components. Wind components end after 2027; critical minerals phase down from 2031. FEOC rules apply.
Storage, geothermal, nuclear, and hydro keep the full credit into the 2030s. Wind and solar that began construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by the end of 2027.
Per-gallon credits for low-emission transportation fuels, including SAF and renewable diesel, now extended through 2029 with North American feedstock requirements.
Per-ton credits for captured and stored or utilized carbon oxide, available for projects that begin construction before 2033.
Production credits for low-carbon hydrogen, available to facilities that begin construction before 2028.
Federal and state R&D credits for engineering and product development. Qualifying startups can apply up to $500K a year against payroll tax before they have income tax to offset.
Projects that began construction under the older PTC and ITC regimes, including partial-year credit strips and the remaining years of contracted credit streams.
Both ended on June 30, 2026, but buildings that began construction before then, and homes acquired by that date, can still be claimed. Many owners have not yet filed.
We confirm eligibility, size the credit, and identify the adders, FEOC exposure, and labor-compliance gaps that will drive price.
The diligence file is assembled the way buyers' counsel reviews it, so questions are answered before they are asked.
Where it improves net proceeds, tax credit insurance is structured and placed through Risk Capital Partners.
A controlled process with vetted buyers and credit-transfer counterparties, with advance financing arranged where cash is needed early.
Not tax, legal, or investment advice. Edge Management LLC is not a law firm, CPA firm, tax advisor, registered investment adviser, or broker-dealer. Information on this page is general and educational. Credit eligibility, amounts, and transfer terms depend on facts specific to each taxpayer and project and require advice from licensed professionals.
Securities and insurance. Where a financing involves securities, it is conducted through a licensed broker-dealer partner. Insurance is placed through Risk Capital Partners, our specialty insurance affiliate. Coverage is subject to underwriting and policy terms.
Pricing and law. Transfer pricing ranges describe typical market levels, not a commitment for any credit. Credit programs, deadlines, and FEOC rules summarized here reflect current law and guidance, which continue to change.
