CERTIFICATION ADVANTAGE

Discover How Small Business Certifications Can Open Doors to Winning Contracts

As a small business, you are looking for every advantage you can find to compete. Did you know that there are special certification programs created by Congress and mandated by government agencies? These exclusive programs are designated specifically to help small businesses which are usually at a disadvantage as compared to large corporations.

The right certifications can position your business for set-aside contracts and, more importantly, sole source contracts. But certifications are NOT a "One-Size-Fits-All" thing. Join us for our Certification Class and learn all about these powerful business tools.

  • If you currently don’t have a certification, how you can still win contracts
  • How teaming and partnerships work for government contracts
  • How to find teaming partners
  • Discovery why large companies are mandated to work with your small business
  • What percentage of set-aside opportunities are available
  • Do you need more than one certification
  • Learn which certification is right for your business
  • Learn the difference for Federal/State/Local/Commercial certifications
