Government Contract Financing

Secure Cash After Landing Government Contract 

As a business owner, obtaining a government contract is a great opportunity that will guarantee pay, even in the event of a government shutdown. Although you will be assured to receive funds, you may need to wait over 60 days for money to come in. This can lead to draining your working capital in the process. Government contract financing can be the answer to closing the cash flow gap. With receivables factoring, business owners get paid upfront to ensure they have the necessary funds to cover expenses, such as payroll and operational costs. Factoring allows you to receive payment on your government invoices within hours after submitting them to a factoring company. No matter if you are a contractor at the municipal level or the federal government, as long as the invoice has been accepted by the government for a delivered product or completed service, government contract financing can work for you. 

Steps to Government Contact Financing

There is a small fee for the receivables factoring service.
