Get ready to immerse yourself in a powerful blend of insights, experiences, and strategies that will pave the way to not only growing your business but flourishing within the federal contracting ecosystem. Hear first-hand accounts from established 8(a) firms about the lessons learned — the mistakes to avoid and the golden practices to adopt. The workshop will cover the following topics:
• It’s NOT about you
• Certification process
• What are you selling/offering?
• Finances, are you ready? If not, get ready!
• Preparation, are you ready to become an 8(a)?
