Learn how to do business with large government prime contractors on June 23rd

June 18, 2011 by

Everybody knows there are a lot of business opportunities with the government.

What many people don’t realize is that there also is an abundance of business opportunities with prime contractors who do business with the government.  These subcontract and suppler business opportunities are the subject of a two-hour seminar being presented in Albany on June 23, 2011.

If you want to learn how to business with large government prime contractors, you will want to attend this 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.

This event will be held in the 1st floor conference room at the Microbusiness Enterprise Center, located at 230 S. Jackson St., Albany, GA 31701-2885.

To register, simply go to http://gtpac.ecenterdirect.com/ConferenceDetail.action?ID=6873 and hit the “Sign Up” button.
