In our current economy, you need to look
for new sources of revenue, new contacts, and new ways of managing your
business. Which means you cannot afford to miss this meeting!
Everyone has heard of the Small Business
Administration, but very few know all they have to offer. While SBA has
numerous financial assistance programs, this is only a small part of
what they do. You need to know more about their counseling programs
(including SCORE mentoring and Women’s business centers), disaster
assistance, online training, and help with government contracting
opportunities.
Contracting with, and selling to the
government is one of the few bright spots in today’s economy and the SBA
can help your business get into this market. You cannot afford to ignore
this customer! The SBA can help you better understand and access this
market – either directly or by working with larger companies.
Don’t miss this event! This is
information you need to know – and your business needs use.
