The short version, then the substance.
Key Takeaways
- The winner's problem
- Funding the gap
- Scaling on contracts safely
The winner's problem. You won the contract. Now you need crews, equipment, materials, and insurance before the first invoice pays. Mobilization is where growing contractors choke, because winning costs money before it makes money.
Funding the gap. Asset-secured capital fronts the mobilization, and the contract's payment schedule retires it. The signed contract is evidence of the exit; the equipment and receivables are the collateral. The structure mirrors how the work actually flows.
Scaling on contracts safely. Mobilize against signed work with real counterparties, price the financing into the bid, and keep the draw discipline tight. Contractors who master this loop stop turning down work they could win and start compounding.
