When the Government Stops, Small Business Can’t

When Washington Shutters, Small Businesses Shouldn’t Pay the Price

No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, one thing is true: a government shutdown impacts everyone — especially small businesses. From federal contract holders to construction crews to IT service providers, the ripple effects are real and immediate.

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, small businesses stand to lose an estimated $170 million per business day in federal-backed financing during a shutdown. That means delayed invoices, stalled contracts, slower approvals, and growing uncertainty.

Your business doesn’t stop — but you still feel the freeze. And that ‘s exactly where a funder can step in and help.

Why MRBIZCAP Is the Right Financing Partner Right Now

“We believe in partnering with real business owners, not just filling out forms,” says Frank Sparacia, CEO of MRBIZCAP. “When the government slows down, we don’t stop. We provide our clients with custom solutions so their business can keep moving forward.”

MRBIZCAP’s mission is simple: keep America’s businesses moving, even when the system stalls.

Industries Feeling the Impact — and How MRBIZCAP Helps

🏥 Healthcare & Medical Services

When federal programs pause, healthcare providers feel it fast. From delayed Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to slower approvals for federally backed insurance claims, cash flow can tighten overnight. For home health agencies, medical suppliers, and clinics waiting on receivables, that uncertainty can make it difficult to cover payroll, restock inventory, or manage growth.

🏗️ Construction & Contracting

When agency contracts pause or permitting slows, crews and equipment sit idle. MRBIZCAP’s equipment financing and bridge-capital options help you keep jobs moving and payroll covered — so you’re ready when the work resumes.

💻 IT & Professional Services

Many IT and professional-service firms depend on government procurement cycles. Shutdowns slow approvals and stall projects. MRBIZCAP helps fund operating costs, payroll, and technology upgrades, keeping your team productive and your pipeline healthy.

🌾 Agriculture & Supply Chain

From USDA oversight delays to export documentation issues, shutdowns can jam supply chains. MRBIZCAP provides working capital to help manage operations and maintain stability until things normalize.

🏢 Regulated & Infrastructure Industries

Businesses relying on inspections or regulatory approvals can’t afford to wait. MRBIZCAP’s flexible term financing allows you to stay on schedule — even when Washington isn’t.

The Bigger Picture

If you’re feeling the effects of this shutdown, you’re far from alone. In one national survey, 70% of small business owners said a shutdown would negatively impact them, and 93% expected their revenue to take a hit.

That’s why MBC’s role goes beyond financing. We act as a strategic partner — helping businesses stay stable, seize opportunities, and move forward with confidence.

We understand that you don’t need politics — you need progress.

Moving Forward Together

Shutdown or not, your business deserves to keep moving. Let’s review your cash flow, your challenges, and your goals — and create a custom funding plan designed for your next move.

Whether you need short-term relief or long-term growth capital, MRBIZCAP is here to help you bridge the gap and get back to business.
