The moment GovCons think they have a roadmap to stability, an obstacle shows up - almost always related to finances. Federal Contracts are the backbone for GovCons. They demand meticulous planning and execution. Here are some challenges you should know: - Delayed payments, impacting cash flow and liquidity - Uncertain macroeconomic conditions. - Competitive environment pressurizing the profit margins. - Balancing employee benefits while facing budget constraints. All financial challenges result in: Strained cash flows To stay on top of your cash flows, keep track of: > Invoice due dates > Accounts Receivables (AR) > Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) Let's face it: payment delays are a part of government contracting. The solution: Strategize your cash flow management. Implement an ERP system to automate bid-to-bill lifecycles. This leads to: ✅ Improved revenue recognition ✅ Real-time visibility into cash flow ✅ Timely identification of bottlenecks ✅ Better AR management The earlier you identify an upcoming cash flow crisis, the faster you can respond and arrange external financing.

The GSA (General Services Administration) Schedule, also known as the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) or Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), is a long-term government-wide contract with commercial firms providing federal, state, and local government buyers access to millions of commercial products and services at volume discount pricing. Being on the GSA Schedule allows businesses to sell their products and services to government buyers through a streamlined, pre-approved process. https://lnkd.in/e-fQyJuV #GSASchedule #GovernmentContracting #FederalProcurement #GovCon #SmallBusinessOpportunities
