Success in federal contracting isn’t just about finding opportunities—it’s about positioning your business to win, crafting proposals that stand out, and executing with excellence once you’re awarded the work.

Session Descriptions

Session 1: Getting Lender-Ready: A Cash Flow Crash Course for GovCon

Overview: Won the contract — now can your business afford to deliver it? Join Teresa Moon, VP of Communications & Marketing at Parabilis, and her team for a fast-paced session built for women-owned federal contractors who want to scale without running out of cash.

Drawing on Parabilis's work financing growing GovCons, this three-part session unpacks what it takes to be lender-ready, how to make your contracts work harder for cash flow, and how to brace your business for the next potential government shutdown.

Key takeaways:

• What lenders look for in early-stage GovCons — and how to get document-ready before you need capital

• How to use federal contracts and your pipeline to project and protect cash flow

• Lessons from the recent shutdown and how to prepare for what may come in September

• Time for Q&A, plus 1:1 follow-up availability with the Parabilis team after the session

Session 2: Crash Course to Cash Flow

Overview: What does it actually look like once you become a client? In this second 45-minute session, the Parabilis team walks through how cash flow management works in practice for federal contractors after engaging a lender. From pro forma projections to contract backlog analysis to planning around Recompetes and future contract pipelines — this session goes deep on what advancing funding requests look like in the real-world rhythm of a growing GovCon business.

Key takeaways:

• Building and using pro forma cash flow projections

• Analyzing contract backlog to inform funding timelines

• Planning around Recompetes and contract endings

• Using your pipeline to project future funding needs

• 10 minutes of audience Q&A at the end

Whether you’re new to government contracting or looking to scale your current efforts, you’ll leave with a clearer path to becoming a business that gets seen, gets selected, and gets the call.
