Small Business Certifications

Federal government contracting certifications are a must if you are thinking of or already selling a product or service to the federal government, state government or other public-sector clients. By getting small business certified, a firm can go after set-aside contracts for 8a firms, Women-Owned firms, Service Disabled Veteran firms and HUBZone firms. The merits of these certifications as well as how to apply for these certifications will be covered in the webinar. A quick reminder, the federal government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the world, spending $500 billion per year with 23% of this held specifically for small businesses. Federal certifications can be a great entry point in diversifying your client base and help your top line.
