Government-contracting business that wins service contracts and fulfills them through subcontractors

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — How Anyone Can Make $10K+/Month From the Government

Create a business entity, register it to bid on government opportunities, identify understandable service contracts, obtain quotes from capable subcontractors, submit a compliant proposal with a markup, coordinate the work, invoice the government, and retain the difference between the government payment and subcontractor cost. The business can serve locations where the owner is not present.

Problem: Government buyers need qualified providers for a wide range of services, while local service companies may understand the work but not how to find, interpret, and submit government proposals.

For: Government agencies, municipalities, schools, universities, and other public organizations procuring services; the direct business operator is an entrepreneur who can coordinate work but does not personally perform the specialized service.

Examples

Formalin and hazardous-waste disposal in California: a subcontractor quoted about $700 per pickup, the government was charged $1,500 per pickup, and the contract specified an estimated 14 to 16 pickups per year for five years.

Custom backyard and municipal pickleball court construction

Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — 11 Proven Businesses My Viewers Started + How to Copy Them

Sell custom sport courts without knowing how to build them: win the sale, subcontract the concrete pour to existing local crews, and differentiate with post-tension construction while timing municipal sales to budget season.

Problem: Demand for home and public pickleball courts with no local builders; cities want courts but the buyer must show up when budgets are set.

For: Homeowners with large backyards, plus municipal parks departments.

Examples

Cam and Luke in Omaha, Nebraska: $500,000 since February 2026, 25% margins, about $10,000 to start (less with favorable payment terms), both from tech backgrounds with zero court-building experience.
