| Create Real Magic And New Customers
Do you want a small business opportunity that could create more
business for you? It is a chance to sell to the government.
Bring in new customers is always the number one goal of many
business owners. It is the life blood of any operation and if
you want your business to stay healthy then you must bring in
fresh new customers and keep them coming back with a great
service or product. I would like to introduce you to the 59.005
Business Development Assistance to Small Business program. This
program is excellent for bringing in new business and revenue.
Get help from this program to sell to the government. They will
assist your small business in obtaining a "fair" share of
contracts and subcontracts for Federal government supplies and
services and a "fair" share of property sold by the government.
What an excellent opportunity this is! I would rather sell a lot
more to meet my goals than to have to get a small business loans
or small business grants. What they can do for your company is:
(Restriction of bidding/award to small business only) (1) Your
application will set-aside the chance to increase the Federal
procurement and disposal requirements awarded to small business
for a great small business opportunity; (2) You will receive
consultation with procuring activities on structuring of
procurement and sales planning to optimize small business
participation; (3) They will also review and analyze you small
business capacity, credit, integrity, perseverance, and tenacity
when challenged by contracting officers and certifying
competence of such firms to perform as prime contractors, as
appropriate, and monitoring performance of certificate of
competency holders throughout contract life; (4) They will also
review of subcontracting plans and programs of large prime
contractors to determine the extent that they are providing
subcontracting opportunities to small businesses, veteran-owned
businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, HUBZone
qualified businesses, small disadvantaged business, and
women-owned small businesses; (5) When they give you
consultation and advice for small businesses requesting
assistance on government procurement or property sales matters,
you must keep in mind that all consultants are not the same. It
is very important to get one that you like and is passionate
about their job. (6) They will also help you with specific
contract administration problems; (7) They will see if you
qualify for the SBA's procurement and financial programs; (8) By
doing this they want to breakout of items from a the same old
stale source of buying in favor of full and open competition in
order to achieve savings; (9) One of the goals that they have is
to review small business programs at Federal buying activities
to evaluate effect on small business participation and recommend
changes; and (10) management of the Central Contractor
Registration's Dynamic Small Business Search, a nationwide
Internet database of information on small business, a marketing
tool for small firms and a "link" to procurement opportunities.
It pays to at least get registered and listed in this data base.
