Crux has launched a new data portal to collect information on commercial activity, deal standards, and market sentiment in the tax credit market. This data portal will enable market participants to submit basic information on completed transactions on an ongoing basis, supplementing our regular market surveys.
Ongoing data collection will enable Crux to expand our data offerings. That means more real-time reports, in-depth whitepapers, and new platform tools. Market participants who contribute to this data set, as well as Crux users and partners, will receive access to our full reports, plus additional custom insights and projections.
One of the tools that Crux will create from the market data collected in the portal is a guide to service providers active in the transferable tax credit market, spotlighting the top-tier law firms, appraisers, and advisors in the industry. Crux supports all market participants — including advisors and service providers — and looks forward to the opportunity to highlight industry leaders, specialists, and problem-solvers that are essential to the growth and evolution of the market.
Companies interested in learning more about the guide are encouraged to enter their data and reach out to us. While data collected in the portal will help form the basis of future analysis, service providers will be contacted separately to confirm or otherwise provide relevant information prior to releasing any detailed guide to market advisors/servicers.
The data from this portal helps inform the market’s largest and most authoritative data set of transactions, which totaled more than $28 billion in commercial activity in 2023–2024. The resulting market reports have been featured in congressional research, cited by major financial institutions and nonprofit organizations, and widely referenced in the press, including in Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Latitude Media, and Canary Media.
This data is also the foundation of many features on the Crux platform, including the Cruxtimate, which provides buyers and sellers accurate and dynamic insight into credit pricing. It has set the standards on essential due diligence items and deal terms, leading to faster alignment and streamlined transaction processes. This transparency has enabled corporate tax buyers, clean energy developers and manufacturers, and advisors to engage in a new market, jumpstarting it to an estimated $22+ billion annually in less than two years.
Survey outline and structure
This survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete. It asks for detailed information regarding one transaction that your firm has completed. Respondents are asked to provide their email address so that Crux can follow up for additional information that will be used in the guide to service providers. This information is not retained with the rest of the survey submission and will not be published.
Additional information on data collection, terms of service, and data use is available in this FAQ document.
