Small Bond Program

Manufacturing companies and certain not-for-profit organizations with financing needs of $3 million or less may qualify for the Indiana Finance Authorities (IFA's) Small Bond Program. The Program offers reduced time frames, reduced fees and less paperwork to qualifying projects. Smaller companies may find it easier to access the tax-exempt market with the IFA's Small Bond Program, where banks purchase and hold the bonds. IFA recommends that you contact an Indiana Bond Counsel (an attorney licensed to practice law in Indiana whose firm maintains an office in Indiana) to see if your project qualifies for the issuance of tax-exempt bonds.

Fees

In addition to Volume Cap fees, there will be a $3,000 closing fee for the IFA and $3,000 closing for for the IFA's Issuer Counsel.
