FAQs
How much proposal writing experience do you have?
We have developed hundreds of proposals across federal, state, and local opportunities in industries ranging from construction to professional services. We know what evaluators look for and how to position small businesses competitively.
What if my proposal is longer than 50 pages?
We'll provide a custom quote based on the actual page count and complexity. Most small business opportunities fall within the 50-page limit, but we handle proposals of all sizes.
Do you guarantee we'll win?
No one can guarantee wins in government contracting. What we guarantee is a professionally developed, compliant proposal that positions you competitively. Wins depend on multiple factors including price, past performance, and the competition. We maximize your chances.
How involved do I need to be?
Very involved at the beginning (strategy kickoff, providing company information and past performance), moderately involved during development (answering questions, reviewing drafts), and minimally involved at the end (final approval and submission). We handle the heavy lifting.
What if I don't have past performance?
We work with that reality. We'll emphasize your team's relevant experience, highlight transferable skills from commercial work, and position you for opportunities where past performance carries less weight.
Can you help with pricing/budget development?
We can provide guidance on pricing strategy and help format your pricing volume, but we don't develop actual pricing. You know your costs better than anyone. We'll make sure your pricing narrative supports your technical approach.
What if the RFP drops and I only have one week?
We prefer 2-3 weeks, but we've handled rush situations. Contact us immediately when you see the opportunity. Rush proposals may require adjusted pricing depending on timeline and complexity.
Do you work on commercial proposals too?
Our specialty is government contracting, but we occasionally take commercial RFPs if they're similar in structure. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
