Part1: First Steps to Becoming a Government Contractor

This session serves as the first part of a comprehensive three-part series. It's crucial to ensure that your company is properly registered with the state, city, and federal government to qualify for operating your business. It's essential to acknowledge that "Business is 100% Risk," and the aim of this presentation and your participation is to minimize that risk as much as possible. Throughout this session, you will gain valuable insights into the following:

• Detailed guidance on how and where to register your business.
• Key information on registering as an interested vendor conducting business with government entities.
• A comprehensive exploration of small business certification programs, offering a deeper understanding of their benefits and how to make the most of them.
