Grow Your Business with Missouri PACE

Offer your clients a financing solution that removes upfront cost barriers—and helps you close more projects.

Why Contractors Use PACE

Benefits

  • Improve Proposal-to-Project Conversion – By providing additional means to finance the project within the proposal, more clients are able to fund and implement projects.

  • Removes Traditional Financing Barriers – Unlike traditional loans, PACE financing is tied to the building, not the business, allowing for “off book” investment in energy conservation and clean energy.

  • Facilitates Increased Project Size and Scope – presenting PACE as an option could motivate owners to expand on original project scopes.

  • Grow the bottom line – PACE creates a new line of business for companies. More projects means more cash for operations.

  • Provides Access to New Sources of Construction Financing – the PACE option means contractors do not have to utilize their own line of credit to fund projects.

  • Covers All Project Costs – PACE financing provides for hard and soft costs of project implementation, including design and modeling expenses.

  • Progress Payments – contractors receive long term payments for installation of new energy-efficient and renewable energy equipment.

  • Build Valuable B2B Relationships – Develop relationships with other clean energy market stakeholders, including municipal leaders, capital providers and participating business owners.

  • Expand Influence in the Community – the opportunity to have a large-scale influence on growing the efficiency and adaptability of a community.

  • Free Technical, Sales, and Marketing Support from PACE Program Staff – PACE Program Staff is available to help you to optimize your business and achieve greater investment in clean energy and conservation throughout Missouri!  Your company will be featured on the Show Me PACE website, with contact information allowing prospective clients to contact you directly.

How PACE Works for Contractors

A simple process that helps you close more deals—without adding complexity.

STEP 1


You Identify the Project



You’re already working with a client who needs upgrades—HVAC, lighting, roofing, or energy improvements.

STEP 2


Your Client Applies for PACE

We guide your client through a straightforward financing process tied to the property—not their personal credit.

STEP 3


Project Gets Approved

Once approved, you complete the work just like any other project.

Is PACE Right for Your Business?

You’re a Good Fit If…

  • You work on commercial or industrial properties

  • You offer energy upgrades (HVAC, lighting, roofing, solar, etc.)

  • Your clients hesitate due to upfront costs

  • You want to close more deals without changing your core process

PACE May Not Be the Best Fit If…

  • You only work on residential projects

  • Your clients have no need for financing options for their capital stack

  • Your projects don’t involve building improvements

Not sure?
Our team can walk you through whether PACE makes sense for your projects.
