Has anyone in this group used ROBS to fund their business? Anyone willing to share to pros and cons they experienced?

I’ve been spending some time looking into federal procurement gaps for the Southeast region lately and I noticed something interesting about how the FAA is currently sourcing janitorial contracts in Alabama and Mississippi. Most local firms I talk to assume they cannot compete with the national giants but there is a current solicitation for the Air Traffic Control Towers in Mobile and Gulfport (Ref: 697DCK 26 R 00056) that is a Total Small Business Set Aside. This means the government is legally barred from giving it to a massive corporation because they have to hire a small business. The contract is a 5 year play (Base plus 4 options) which is the kind of stability that actually lets a small team scale up. I’ve already pulled the Statement of Work and the Wage Determinations for this specific site. If anyone here is operating in the Gulf Coast area and wants to see the frequency charts or the site specs to see if it fits your current capacity just drop a comment below and I will send over what I’ve gathered. No strings attached because I just want to see more local owners taking these spots instead of the big national chains.

I just partnered with Rok Financial. After years of working with them, I made it official and become a commercial loan broker partner. These loans are for when banks say no. I consult with hundreds of businesses each year and funding is always an issue. With Rok, we fund deals from $5k-$5M. Funding typically within 1 week. Businesses that have been around 3 months to 3 years; no collateral needed; lower credit score requirement. The advantage is one simple application can be applied to 20 lenders for multiple programs (capital purchases, working capital, Accounts Receivable advances, Line-of-Credit, etc...). No need to submit a dozen applications and have your credit pulled multiple times (kills your credit). If you think you might need access to some capital for your business, have a business bank account, then you can fill out the initial no obligation application to see what you qualify for. https://go.mypartner.io/business-financing/?ref=001Qk00000fBldrIAC# Qualifications: 3-6+ months Time in business Business Bank Account $5k+/month in revenue
