Commercial banks are interested in providing that working capital financing.
Even more, banks also are available as financial advisor-partners to assist in developing a financial strategy designed to meet a company's revenue and profit goals. Most important to the contractor, over the long term, bank financing provides the most stable and least expensive source of capital. As with all business financing alternatives, not all banks are alike. It is important to look for a banking institution that offers a range of financing options that are appropriate to a company's stage of development, and that has the flexibility to change the financing structure and increase the amount of credit as the business grows. In addition, it is important to demonstrate to the government that a company has access to financing as an indication of ability to perform under government contracts, and often is a pre-requisite to contract award.
