Did you know that the government works to make sure small businesses get at least 23 percent of all federal contracting dollars?

Additionally, the government tries to award a certain percentage of all federal prime contracting dollars to small businesses that meet certain socio-economic conditions. The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides several programs to help small businesses win federal contracts.

Participating in these programs helps small businesses:

• Win a fair share of federal contracts
• Qualify for exclusive set-aside and sole-source contracts
• Partner with established contractors to win contracts
• Get business mentoring and education to learn how federal contracting works 

Join guest presenter Gabrielle Coner, representative from the SBA, Detroit District, for this federal contracting overview.

The SBA Michigan District Office can also connect you to our partner organizations, lenders, and other community groups that help small businesses succeed.

The Michigan District Office services the entire state of Michigan. Offices are located in Detroit and Grand Rapids.

No fee to attend, but registration is required.

This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense. Additionally, the Wayne State University APEX Accelerator is funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC).
