6-consultant LLC, no shared financial structure, 30 days to submit a federal contract bid. Built the entire financial proposal. They won the contract.
01The Situation
Six independent consultants formed an LLC to bid on a federal services contract. The procurement office required a formal financial proposal with member-level budgets, overhead allocation, profit margins by role, and financial capacity certification. The LLC had formed 11 days earlier and had 30 days until submission.
02What We Did
We structured the LLC financial framework, built member-level revenue budgets matched to the federal procurement template, constructed an 18-month projection showing ramp-up and steady-state, and formatted everything to the contracting officer specification. Submitted with 3 days to spare.
