Get Certified As A Woman Owned Business To
Get Government Contracts
It makes sense to be certified to do business with the federal government because it is the world’s largest buyer of goods. Federal agencies have requirements to establish almost one fourth of their contracting goals with small businesses. They also try to award 5% to woman-owned businesses. Because the government encourages small businesses to bid on these contracts, your business may qualify.
I know of a disabled vet in Texas who’s making a mint on website construction for the government, and he does nothing but subcontract it out. That’s because they try to award 3% of contracts to disabled vets.
The thought of doing business with the government can seem daunting, but it’s not as complicated as it might seem. The rewards can be significant, so it’s well worth the effort. Some have even doubled their income, as a result of government contracts.
