Financing for this trade
Agencies under 922120 are funded by appropriations and pay for buildings and equipment through bonds and lease purchase agreements rather than business loans. Companies that sell to police protection agencies, such as vehicle upfitters, body camera vendors and training firms, use their own industry code and typically finance contracts with receivables lines, government contract factoring and SBA 7(a) loans.
Apply for funding with AIIs 922120 the right code for a police department?
Yes, if the establishment is a government police or sheriff's department enforcing laws. Private security and patrol companies use 561612, even when they work for public agencies. Jails run by sheriffs typically use 922140 for that establishment. Small businesses almost never use a 92 code, since sector 92 describes government itself rather than the companies that serve it.
Does 922120 have an SBA size standard?
No. Code 922120 covers government agencies, which are not businesses, so SBA does not set a size standard for it. A company that sells to police protection agencies is measured by the size standard of its own industry code, and that is the code to use on SBA loan applications and small business set aside bids.
How do businesses that sell to police protection agencies finance contracts?
Vendors to police protection agencies, such as vehicle upfitters, body camera vendors and training firms, usually use a line of credit or invoice factoring backed by government receivables, since agencies often pay on 30 to 60 day terms. Equipment loans and SBA 7(a) loans fund growth. Lenders look at the contract, the agency's payment record, bonding where required and the vendor's performance history.
