A Better Way to Protect Project Economics Across the Portfolio
Abbott Incentives helps private equity firms, operating partners, and portfolio companies reduce the cost of expansions, new facilities, equipment investments, and redevelopment projects by identifying and securing incentives that are often overlooked or addressed too late in the planning process.
What We Help With
Where We Create Value for Sponsors and Portfolio Companies
Facility Expansions
Reduce the cost of adding manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and operational capacity.
New Facility Development
Capture incentives tied to new plants, headquarters, warehouses, and other strategic facilities.
Equipment & Capital Investment
Align job creation and capital expenditure with tax credits, grants, abatements, and utility-based programs.
Redevelopment & Distressed Assets
Unlock value through redevelopment incentives, NMTC structures, and other place-based programs.
Site Selection Support
Evaluate locations not just on labor and logistics, but on real net project cost after incentives.
Project Economics Protection
Ensure incentives are identified and negotiated early enough to materially improve project returns.
The Abbott Advantage
Built Around Execution, Not Theoretical Savings
We do not approach incentives as an afterthought or a compliance exercise. We approach them as a practical tool for improving project economics and supporting value creation plans.
Our role is to help private equity firms, operating partners, and management teams:
- Identify incentive opportunities early in the decision-making process
- Quantify realistic value before commitments are made
- Structure the right mix of local, state, utility, and federal programs
- Support negotiations with public agencies and stakeholders
- Avoid missed opportunities caused by timing, incomplete analysis, or decentralized project planning
Because many incentives are discretionary or timing-sensitive, the greatest value is often created before a lease is signed, before a site is purchased, and before a project is publicly underway.
Incentives We Commonly Evaluate
Programs Commonly Missed in Early-Stage Planning
- Property tax abatements and IDA / PILOT structures
- State job creation and investment tax credits
- Infrastructure grants and site readiness support
- Utility and power cost reduction programs
- New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC)
- Redevelopment and distressed-area incentives
- Training grants and workforce support programs
- Sales and use tax exemptions
How We Work With PE Firms
Flexible Support for Deal Teams, Operating Partners, and Portfolio Companies
Portfolio Company Direct Engagement
We work directly with management teams on active projects while keeping PE sponsors informed on strategy, value, and timing.
PE-Level Resource
We can serve as a value creation resource for operating partners, portfolio operations teams, and deal professionals assessing expansion, relocation, redevelopment, or capital investment plans.
Pre-Investment / Post-Close Review
We help assess whether upcoming facility and capital plans present incentive opportunities that can support the investment thesis and improve execution economics post-close.
Proof / Experience
Relevant Experience Supporting Private Equity-Backed Growth
Abbott Incentives has supported projects involving portfolio companies of leading private equity firms, including TPG Growth, Center Rock Capital, and Mill Point Capital. Across client engagements, we have helped generate more than $50 million in savings and incentive value tied to expansion, investment, and facility-related projects.
We understand the importance of speed, discretion, and commercially grounded analysis. Our work is designed to support management teams and investors alike by identifying practical opportunities that improve outcomes without adding friction to execution.
Ideal Situations
When to Bring Abbott In
- Expanding manufacturing, distribution, or operational capacity

- Early in a project, before commitments limit incentive options
Turn Capital Projects Into Portfolio Value Creation
If a portfolio company is planning an expansion, new facility, equipment investment, or redevelopment project, we can help determine whether meaningful incentive value exists—and how to capture it before it is lost.
