Case Study: Empowering W&D Consulting Through Strategic Contract Financing
W&D Consulting
- Service Type: Contract Financing
- Challenge: W&D Consulting, a reputable New York-based lobbying and consulting firm, secured over $4 million in earned revenue from a $300 million government contract awarded to five non-profit organizations under the New York City Asylum (Hotel) Program. Despite the secured and receivable nature of their income—payable over 36 months—they faced a critical challenge: the need for immediate working capital to begin executing their scope of work. With government disbursements typically delayed, W&D needed a swift and strategic financial solution to bridge the funding gap and maintain project momentum.
- Solution Delivered:
- ASK Capital facilitated a $1,000,000 contract financing facility for W&D Consulting by connecting them with a private investor aligned with impact-focused capital deployment. This financing was secured against W&D’s $4 million accounts receivable, stemming from pre-earned advisory, lobbying, and management fees tied to the hotel shelter programs for asylum seekers across New York City.
- ASK Capital’s financing structure was designed with flexibility in mind, allowing W&D to monetize future cash flows without compromising operational control. The agreement accounted for the firm’s monthly recurring revenue of approximately $150,000, backed by active hotel operations and a reliable client base—most notably, People’s Path, which contributed over 50% of the receivables.

- Impact & Results
- With immediate liquidity in place, W&D Consulting was able to:
- Successfully execute its advisory and vendor management responsibilities for over 30 hotels housing 3,000+ asylum seekers across Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.
- Deepen strategic partnerships with non-profits such as People’s Path, St. Paul’s Center, and Manna of Life, among others.
- Reinforce its position as a leading innovator in the New York daycare and social housing ecosystem, especially within high-impact, city-backed social programs.
- Strengthen its long-term cash flow and investor attractiveness by meeting contractual deliverables ahead of schedule.
- Lessons Learned
- Early Capital Access is Critical: Delays in government disbursements highlight the importance of securing upfront financing to maintain operations and deliver on contractual obligations without compromising performance timelines or reputation.
- Receivables Are Viable Collateral: Properly structured accounts receivable tied to government contracts can serve as reliable collateral, enabling firms to attract investor confidence and bridge funding gaps for large-scale projects.
- Strategic Partnerships Accelerate Execution: Partnering with financing firms like ASK Capital enables firms to execute faster, build credibility, and focus on service delivery while delegating capital acquisition and investor management.
