Contract Financing for Small Business

Abstract

The DoD is trying to increase the number and volume of contracts it awards to small businesses. To enhance prospects, it wants to assure that small businesses are not disadvantaged by its contract financing procedures.

On fixed-price contracts exceeding four months to first delivery, progress payments shift most of the burden of financing operating capital to the Government. The program is vital and effective.
