The U.S. government and anchor institutions are alternative sources of new funding opportunities for small businesses, yet very few entrepreneurs and small business owners take advantage of these opportunities. The federal government and anchor institutions, just like any other organization, need to purchase goods and services to operate effectively. Just about anything an entrepreneur produces the government and anchor institutions will buy; from widgets, to fruits, to napkins, plumbing services, trucking services, you name it; they buy it. These items are routinely purchased, through single award, multi award or other form of contracts, which often include a 'set-aside' requirement for small businesses, just like yours. 

This program helps to position small businesses to obtain and manage large contracts. The program consists of five (5) modules over five months covering the following topics:
​

• Foundations in Business
• Sales and Marketing
• Government Contracting
• Financial Management
• Pitching for Government Contracts
