Government Contract Financing Opportunity
The United States Federal Government, the country's largest debtor, operates differently from typical companies. Rapid growth from awarded contracts or issued task orders can be exciting, but it raises the practical question: how do you meet payroll, vendor, and project obligations while waiting on the payment cycle?
Icarus Fund's Government Contract Funding Vehicle is designed to bridge that gap with working capital built around awarded public-sector work.
Navigating Federal Assignment of Claims
The Federal Assignment of Claims allows a government contractor to assign due funds under a federal contract. Securing an approved Assignment of Claims is intricate, and a Contract Modification may also be needed.
Once everything is in place, verification and funding typically occur within 24 hours. Working with a financial institution that understands Contracting Officers and federal payment mechanics is crucial.
