As energy costs rise and environmental regulations tighten, more and more companies are exploring the benefits of energy retrofits.

One of the most compelling ways to take advantage is through a guaranteed performance agreement, in which an engineering firm prepares a detailed plan for an energy-saving facilities, with the cost savings guaranteed in the contract itself.

At Capital Underwriters, we have proven experience in financing energy performance contracts, and a clear understanding of the risks and pitfalls of the process. We're members of the Federal Buildings Initiative Financing Advisory Committee.

In financing GPAs, our approach is based on off-balace-sheet treatment for both the Energy Service Contractor and the customer. And our creative, flexible design means we can build a repayment schedule that mirrors the anticipated rate of savings of the project.

Expertise like this is rare. It's the Capital Underwriters difference.
