SUMMARY:Small Business Workshop: Government Contracts Are BIG Business for Small Businesses!
DESCRIPTION:Government Contracts are BIG Business for Small Businesses! \n\n\nOne of the most overlooked business opportunities for small business owners is selling to the U.S. Government! The U.S. government is the largest customer in the world\, buying all types of products and services\, in both large and small quantities--and it's also required by law to consider buying from small businesses!  \n\n \n\nPurchasing everything from paper clips to janitorial services to next generation space shuttles and advanced scientific research--and pretty much in between! As a result\, government contracts are a tremendous financial opportunity for small businesses. The SBA works with federal agencies in order to award 23% of prime government contract dollars to eligible small businesses. \n\n \nInterested In Doing Business With The Government? Or \n\nDo You Have Questions About How to Become Certified or Find Contracting Opportunities? \n\nThen This Workshop Is For YOU! \n \n\nMake your reservation to attend this FREE introductory workshop and learn more about the opportunities and resources the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) at ASU can provide. You'll also hear more about some of the resources and services they are providing to small businesses to give them the competitive edge!\n\n \n\nThis workshop will provide overall highlights of:\n\n\n	PTAC free one-on-one advisement services\n	Potential benefits of doing business with government\n	How the government buys goods and services\n	How to become certified and registered on the federal\, state and local levels. \n	How to find government contracting primes and subcontracting opportunities\n\n\nClick Here for more details and flyer\n\n\n \n\nClick Here to Register\n\n \n\nFor more information contact Kristi Pieper\, 334-365-7392 or email kpieper@prattvillechamber.com\n\n \n\nFor more information\, call 334-229-4138 or email arprice@alasu.edu.
