Government contracting businesses

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.
