Economic Development Initiative For Community Development Corporations and Faith Based Organizations

Exico, Inc. (Exico) has a solid track record of technical expertise, integrity and effectiveness in addressing economic development issues for non-profits and faith based Community Development Corporations (CDCs).  These are the main reasons that clients choose us over other economic development consultants.
Originally founded as a small business consulting firm specializing in providing management and technical assistance to small businesses, Exico has grown to be a management solutions provider to not only small businesses but also large developers, public agencies and non-profit organizations.  Developing tailor made attractive financing options for non-profits has become a hallmark of our economic development engagements.  Exico, Inc. in cooperation with two closely related ventures, the law firm of Uku & Uku P.C. and Economic Development Institute, has developed a service package that will enable faith based organizations to minister not only to the spiritual needs of their congregations but also to their material needs. These services are also provided to non-profit CDCs.

Through close synchronization of the technical capabilities of these three firms, we can deliver a very powerful package of economic development solutions to faith-based organizations in a seamless manner.

The package includes the following services:

• Proposal Preparation

Exico will assist faith-based organizations to structure proposals to secure public and private funding for their social and economic development programs.

• Strategic Planning Assistance

We will assist faith-based organizations to develop strategic plans for the future development of their social and economic development programs.  We will help them to develop strategic plans that articulate their qualitative as well as quantitative long term objectives.  We will also assist in the development of the action plans that will facilitate the successful execution of their strategic plans

• Organizational Development

Exico will use its extensive experience in developing organizational structures to fashion organizational options that will facilitate the selection of the most effective vehicle for the implementation of the economic development programs of the faith based organizations.  With the assistance of the law firm of Uku & Uku P.C., if so desired by the clients, we will structure the most advantageous business entities for our clients.

• Financing

Exico is one of the leading financial consultants in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that specialize in catering to the financing needs of small and medium sized organizations.  As Former Financial Consultant to the Small Business Financing Office of the Commonwealth (a capacity in which we served for nine (9) years), as well as a loan production office for several commercial lenders, we bring considerable financing capabilities that we can leverage for the benefit of our clients' projects.

• Mortgages

Through the services of our network of mortgage lenders, we can assist faith-based organizations to assist members of their congregations to obtain financing for their homes through the provision of first and second mortgages. We can also assist to obtain commercial mortgages for the benefit of members of the faith organizations that are interested in investing in commercial real estate.
