Government Contract Training from GovCon Compliance Experts
The U.S. federal government is the largest single customer in the world, purchasing over $500 billion dollars worth of goods and services each year. Many small business owners want to sell to the government but find it difficult to navigate the maze of federal regulations involved in doing business with Uncle Sam. Others have won contracts as a prime or subcontractor but need support to manage contracts and agency relationships.

What Audiences Are Saying About Our Training
I was lucky enough to be in a couple of your presentations this past week. I was very impressed with your presentations.
Your support of the Spring Chapter Leader Summit was great. You did a fantastic job getting them up and talking; exactly what we needed and exactly what they wanted.
BRING THIS GUY BACK!!! It was great! It was VERY helpful. Best session I attended all conference!!
I enjoyed the webinar and I’m glad I can replay it again to go over questions as I use the calculators. These and the handouts with examples will both be useful since we have our first small federal contract and would like to seek more federal opportunities.
Thank you and LBP for a great (fantastic!) webinar and for making the calculator tool and example available, and its great to know those webinars are on YouTube.
