Applications to Rating Agencies and to Municipal Bond Insurance Companies for
Credit Enhancement When Appropriate
When the size of a financing makes it
economical to pursue a rating from one
or more rating agencies, or when the
purchase of insurance to improve the
existing rating is helpful, L.J. Hart &
Company usually completes much of the application and can assist in the data
gathering process as part of its overall services. The Company has considerable
experience in working with all rating agencies as well as most of the firms that
provide municipal bond insurance to local governments. Having the benefit of this
experience can be useful in terms of expediting the process, receiving competitive
pricing of the insurance fee quotes, as well as the achievement of professional respect
for the quality and completeness of the presentation.
Our basic service is to help local governments borrow money on a tax-exempt
basis to meet their capital facilities and equipment needs. These are some of
the services we provide in the process of reaching that goal.
