Today’s discussion is all about something that doesn’t get talked about enough—but when it happens, it can shake your whole business: termination for convenience. It sounds polite, right? Like the government just doesn’t “need your services anymore.” But for a small business, it can mean canceled plans, stranded staff, sunk costs—and a scramble to recover.
In this episode, we’re breaking down what termination for convenience actually is, how it shows up, and what you can do—legally, financially, and strategically—to prepare for it or respond when it hits. Because in GovCon, it’s not always about what you win—it’s about how you withstand the unexpected.
Let’s get into it.
