How fast can a DC government contractor get paid with factoring?

Typically the same or next business day after an approved government or prime invoice is submitted with supporting documentation — an advance of typically 80-90%, with the factor collecting on the contract's normal terms. Not all applicants qualify.

Does approval depend on my credit or my customer's?

Approval rides mainly on the payer — the government agency or established prime — not your own credit. Government debtors are among the strongest possible, making factoring available to newer set-aside, 8(a), and SDVOSB firms. Not all applicants qualify.

Can you handle federal assignment of claims?

Yes — federal receivables are assigned following the applicable FAR procedures (the Assignment of Claims Act). We handle the assignment and notification process as part of onboarding a government-contract client.

What if I need a lump sum instead of per-invoice funding?

Y Millennial Funding also offers revenue-based advances — a lump sum against overall future receivables for businesses doing $50,000+ in monthly revenue, repaid through remittance that scales with deposits. Not all applicants qualify.

Government Contract Factoring in Washington

DC is where federal contracting concentrates — nowhere has more agencies, primes, and subs invoicing on terms the government pays slowly, with shutdown risk adding further delay. Factoring turns approved invoices into next-day cash, and because the debtor is the government or an established prime, debtor credit is exceptionally strong — which is why factoring reaches newer set-aside and 8(a) firms that banks decline.

Local Market Insights

DC contractors — IT and cybersecurity, professional and technical services, staffing, base and facility support, and product suppliers — commonly invoice federal agencies and primes on net terms that stretch with government processing and continuing resolutions. Factoring funds each approved invoice as issued, and assignment-of-claims handling is part of the process for federal receivables.

Unique Challenges We Address

The local challenge is slow federal payment and shutdown risk against fast payroll — services contractors must make payroll every two weeks regardless of the government's schedule. Factoring bridges the gap so contractors can staff and deliver.
