Who this is built for
Government contractors waiting on agency payment cycles: mobilization costs on a new award, payroll on work already completed, or bidding above current cash capacity.
A transaction of this shape
Illustrative example, not a past transaction. A staffing firm won a $1.2M IDIQ contract with a federal agency but had to carry payroll for 90 days before the first invoice cleared. We advanced working capital against the awarded contract so they could mobilize immediately and never miss a payroll. The agency renewed the contract twice — the firm now runs on the same facility.
Qualification considerations
What the capital sources behind this structure look at. These are their published parameters, not an offer of credit, and a file that misses one is not automatically declined — it is a conversation about which source fits.
- The contract is awarded (a signed award, not a bid)
- Facility of $50,000 or more
- Financial statements and current A/R + A/P available
- No minimum time in business
What usually rules a file out
- No award yet — only a bid or a verbal
- Need is below the $50,000 minimum
- Cannot produce financial statements or A/R + A/P reports
What the numbers look like
We do not publish rates, and we would not trust a site that did — pricing on a structure like this is set by the file, not by the page. What we publish instead is the model. Run your own figures through the same deterministic calculator the desk runs on a live file, free, with no sign-in and nothing to submit.
Run a govcon estimate →What to have ready
You do not need all of this to start a conversation — submit first, and we will tell you what the specific file needs. This is what a transaction of this kind normally opens with.
- The signed contract award — an award, not a bid
- The contracting officer's details, and any modifications issued to date
- Recent business bank statements
- The two most recent business tax returns, where the business has filed them
- A current profit & loss and balance sheet
- An accounts receivable and accounts payable aging
- An entity document for the borrowing entity, and a personal financial statement

Submit an Opportunity →Business-purpose financing only. Canady Investments is not a bank and does not lend its own funds. This page describes a financing structure and the criteria the capital sources behind it publish; it is not an offer of credit, a commitment to lend, or a guarantee of financing, and nothing here is a quoted rate or term. All terms are subject to underwriting, documentation, and third-party capital source approval.
