Superior Business Lending Meets Rising Demand for Government Contract Financing

Superior Business Lending, a leading commercial lending broker known for its fast, flexible funding solutions, has reported a significant uptick in inquiries from businesses engaged in federal and state government contract work. With traditional banks increasingly cautious about navigating the red tape and billing intricacies of public sector contracts, Superior Business Lending is stepping in with specialized financing solutions that are designed to meet the unique demands of these high-value projects.

“Banks love to hear that a business landed a government contract until they see the compliance requirements, payment schedules, and change order processes that come with it,” said Jeff Gerstner, Founder of Superior Business Lending. “That’s where we come in. We understand how to turn slow progress billing into working capital so contractors can keep moving forward.”

Government contracts often require upfront labor and material costs, while payment can be delayed for weeks or even months due to detailed approval chains, milestone-based invoicing, and audit-ready compliance measures. These complexities often disqualify otherwise profitable contracts from traditional bank financing. Superior Business Lending specializes in government contract financing, connecting clients with lenders who understand progress billing, cost-plus contracts, and draw schedules specific to federal, state, and municipal work.

Whether it’s an electrical contractor working on a state school renovation, a logistics company servicing a FEMA contract, or a cybersecurity firm rolling out a federal agency pilot, the financing needs are urgent, and traditional banking timelines don’t cut it. That’s why Superior Business Lending focuses on non-bank business loans, including accounts receivable financing, purchase order funding, contract-specific bridge loans for bad credit, and working capital advances, which are often available within days, not weeks.

“Our lenders are fluent in FAR clauses, certified payroll, and compliance audits,” Gerstner added. “That matters when your next draw is tied up in a government system, and you need capital to mobilize crews or buy materials. We take red tape and turn it into usable cash flow.”

The firm’s approach is rooted in deep relationships with private credit funds, non-traditional lenders, and specialty finance institutions that have experience underwriting loans against public-sector receivables. This expertise allows Superior Business Lending to assess and fund opportunities where many banks simply won’t engage.

Superior Business Lending will be able to turn a company’s work-in-progress into fast funding without waiting for full invoice approval. They also offer lenders who understand government change orders, retentions, and payment modifications. Superior Business Lending will also work with lending partners who understand Davis-Bacon, SBA size standards, and FAR regulations, and can access up to 90% of expected receivables to cover project kickoffs and certified payrolls.

This surge in government contract lending requests comes at a time when infrastructure spending, clean energy initiatives, and federal technology modernization are opening the doors for small and mid-sized businesses to take on more public-sector projects. Yet these opportunities require the right financial partners, ones who know the difference between an SF 1449 and a GSA Schedule.

“Too many good businesses lose out or fall behind on public contracts because the money doesn’t move fast enough,” said Gerstner. “Our mission is to fix that by matching contractors with financing that works on government timelines, not bank calendars.”

Superior Business Lending’s Chicago-based team works with clients nationwide and across industries, offering fast turnarounds, tailored funding packages, and support throughout the life of the contract. For businesses navigating the complexities of public sector work, especially those that have been turned away by traditional banks, the company is positioning itself as the go-to broker for government contract financing.
