Mobilization Funding for Government Contracts

Winning a federal contract is the goal — but it immediately creates a problem. Before you can invoice anything, you have to mobilize: hire and onboard staff, buy materials and equipment, set up the job site, and cover the startup costs of performing the work. All of that comes out of your pocket weeks or months before your first invoice is even submitted, let alone paid.

For a newly awarded or fast-growing contractor, this pre-invoice period is where deals die. Many capable firms win work they can't actually afford to start.

Mobilization funding gives you working capital to perform a new award before the payment cycle catches up. As soon as you begin invoicing, Encore advances up to 90% of your approved invoice value — often within 48 hours — so the cash you fronted to mobilize is replenished fast and your funding line keeps pace with the work.

It's not a loan and it's not equity. There's no fixed monthly payment and no dilution — just your own receivables, accelerated, so you can say yes to the contract and start strong.

Encore was founded by the original Advance Partners team and has deployed over $25 billion in funding. We understand the realities of standing up a new federal contract — burdened labor costs, material lead times, and the lag before the government's first payment.

Whether you're a staffing firm onboarding a new crew, a construction contractor buying materials, or a sub mobilizing on a new task order, financing scales to the contract you just won.
