Description: Want to learn how to business with large government prime contractors? If so, you will want to attend this three-hour seminar. Since the government is “bundling” so many of their contracts, becoming a subcontractor may be the only way some small businesses can get their feet in the door. Becoming a subcontractor can not only be rewarding but less complicated than competing for a government prime contract. Many prime contractors continuously seek good small business suppliers to meet their needs and satisfy the requirements of their government subcontracting plans. You may have just what they are looking for and should consider attending this seminar. All businesses are welcome to attend. A light lunch will be served in conjunction with this class.
