Timing, not viability
Costs and guarantees come due long before the receivable arrives.

Why capital readiness matters
An award is a cash-flow event.
Public contracts often ask you to deliver, guarantee, and wait — before you are paid.
Finance belongs in the pursuit
A clear view makes a Go/No-Go honest from the start.
Readiness travels well
Cross-border work adds FX, import, and tax timing.

Capital gaps
The gaps that show up again and again.
Naming them early turns a worry into a question you can plan around.

Which gaps apply depends on the opportunity and must be validated case by case.

Before & after award
The questions capital readiness answers.
Useful twice: a clear decision before award, and clean execution after it.
- ?Can we pursue this?
- ?What guarantees may be required?
- ?What cash gap could appear?
- ?What partner route should we prepare?
- ?Can we deliver?
- ?When do we get paid?
- ?What needs to be financed?
- ?What documents does a finance partner need?
