At Commerce Commercial Credit, Inc., we understand providing a product or service to a government agency is not like any other business customer. How do we know this? Because we have provided funding to companies like yours across the United States for many years to help them grow, make payroll and purchase needed supplies. Our factoring services for government receivables and contracts will keep you in a strong position to take advantage of a good opportunity.
If you are like most companies that contract with the government, you might not have a lot of fixed assets that traditional lenders expect. They do not understand that the most valuable asset you could have is your accounts receivable that were sent to the government agency. These invoices represent real dollars for time worked and billed from services, or the products that your company supplies to the government.
Yes, winning contracts from a federal, state or local government entity is a tremendous opportunity to grow your company. A large amount of your operating capital is used to support a big government contract. However, issues come with this opportunity when payment for your product or service is delayed 90 days or later. Fixed overhead expenses languish because you have a cash flow shortage, which could cause you to decline new contract opportunities.
It does not have to be this way. Factoring government receivables and contracts through Commerce Commercial Credit can help your company say “yes” to every opportunity that comes along. Our experience in the factoring industry enables us to do what most traditional lenders would not consider: using your government receivables and contracts as collateral for the working capital that you need.
As a business owner, you are fully aware of issues that may arise on a daily basis when dealing with private business clients and consumers. Supplying goods and services to government agencies could cause even more issues when you are without sufficient capital to progress. At any given moment, you may encounter:
You face the issues; Commerce Commercial Credit has the solution. We are an expert invoice factoring company when it comes to dealing with government contract work. Receivables funding for federal government contracts must follow Assignment of Claims Act guidelines that outline procedures for assigning financial rights. Processes set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations are also important to follow when resolving your cash flow issues.
The process of factoring government contract receivables involves selling invoices accepted by the government to a factoring company. This can be at a reduced price that is close to the full invoiced solar amount. An example of this is when a federal government agency owes $100,000 for a completed job. The company could sell that invoice for a percentage predetermined by the factor company and agreed upon between both parties. Instead of waiting several months, the company can receive payment for their work in a few short days.
After selling the invoice, most factor companies will collect the payment from the federal government agency. If the factoring agreement included terms for a reserve, the company could receive the difference after the factor company receives the payment. Typically, the reserve represents the difference between the amount the company received initially and the full invoiced amount. So, if the company received $90,000 upfront, they would receive the remaining balance minus any fees.
There are many factoring companies advertising their services to companies in need of immediate cash. Any government contractor that wants to factor their government receivables and contracts should partner with a factoring company that specializes the industry.

Some companies have a steady stream of work that comes directly from federal, state and local government agencies. Usually, these companies are competing against others to get lucrative and enviable jobs that equal steady work for the duration of a contract. Unfortunately, payment on invoices does not always match the volume of work these companies are expected to complete. With all of the great advantages to working for the government, there are drawbacks when money is lacking to meet operational costs. It literally takes money to make money and fulfill these contracts.
Because receiving payment could take 60 to 90 days after an invoice is sent to the government, companies have to go several months without income. Of course, there might be other projects, but those may be smaller than the government contract and not enough to pay daily expenses. Applying for a loan from a bank is one option; some may even try to set up a line of credit with a conventional financial institution.
A startup company or one with an average-to-poor credit rating is not appealing to banks. Waiting several weeks to find out if a loan or line of credit application is approved is less appealing to the company.
