Benefits of Government Contracting
Government contracts may be a tremendous financial opportunity for capable and qualified small businesses.
The U.S. government is the largest customer in the world. It buys all types of products and services in both large and small quantities and it's required by law to consider buying from small businesses.
The government wants to buy from small businesses for several reasons, including:- To ensure that large businesses don't muscle out small businesses
- To gain access to the new ideas that small businesses provide
- To support small businesses as engines of economic development and job creation
- To offer opportunities to disadvantaged socio-economic groups
Federal agencies must publicly list their contract opportunities. Some of these contracts are set aside exclusively for small businesses.
