SBA: What You Need to Know about Certifications, Marketing & Subcontracting

Many government agencies require that some percentage of the procurements be awarded to small businesses. Certifying your business can definitely help you successfully compete for government contracts.  Small business certifications document a special capability or status that will help you compete in the marketplace.

Come and learn about certifications, how to market your business to government agencies as well as tips for subcontracting with prime contractors.
