Upcoming Business Training Webinars
Who is the world's largest customer? Our Government. The federal government alone typically purchases $400+ BILLION in goods and services — from light bulbs to PR, and from landscaping services to food products. Last year, over $100 billion was awarded to small businesses. So, the opportunity is tremendous. However, new small businesses entering government contracting face significant time-consuming and costly challenges. Considering government contracting? Is your business ready for the shift to B2G? Learn how to gain a strategic foothold in public sector procurement and how certifications can help. Attend this introductory program to understand the typical procurement process and how you can more efficiently gain a foothold in federal contracting.
Presenters include:
- Daniel McCoy, Business Consultant, UGA SBDC at KSU and Certified SHRM Professional

- Bart Njoku-Obi, Business Consultant with the UGA SBDC Office of Minority Business Development.
