SUMMARY:July 9\, 2026 De-Risking Manufacturing Expansion
DESCRIPTION:When manufacturers begin planning an expansion or relocation\, where should they actually start - project scope\, financing\, or something else entirely? Early decisions often leave meaningful opportunities on the table: chances to improve cost of capital\, reduce risk\, or reshape deal economics through incentive-based capital. And with many strategic growth initiatives\, timing becomes everything.\n\n\n\nJoin us for a lively\, strategy-focused discussion on how manufacturers can structure expansion and relocation financing in ways that lower cost\, protect the balance sheet\, and strengthen long‑term competitiveness. We’ll take a deep dive into real-world approaches using bank lending\, tax incentives\, and complementary capital tools.\n\n\n\nDuring this session\, you will:\n\nUnderstand how blending traditional financing with incentive-based capital can reduce cost and risk\nSee layered financing in action through a real manufacturing case study featuring a fellow IMA member\nIdentify early planning steps that improve outcomes and help avoid common pitfalls\nLearn when pursuing incentives doesn’t make sense\nWalk away with practical\, actionable takeaways you can apply to upcoming projects
