Client Results
Funding that keeps contract work moving when payment cycles slow down.
When our payment from a federal infrastructure project was delayed, Icarus Fund stepped in fast. They understood the government process better than any bank we spoke to. Their funding allowed us to keep crews on-site without missing a beat.
Our IT firm had a multi-year state contract but could not wait 60+ days on reimbursements. Icarus Fund understood the structure, offered flexible terms, and funded us without any of the red tape we are used to.
We handle staffing for several municipal agencies. Cash flow can get tight with long invoicing cycles. Icarus Fund helped bridge the gap and made scaling our team stress-free.

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.
