You are invited to join Wyoming Entrepreneur in Laramie to learn how becoming a HUBZone certified business can help you expand! The HUBZone program stimulates economic development and creates jobs in urban and rural communities by providing federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. Albany County is a designated HUBZone.
Come and find out how to apply for HUBZone certification and get some tips on how your business can do a better job marketing to federal agencies. Additionally, information will be provided on how to effectively partner when bidding on government contracts.
You will also learn about the free assistance that is available from the Wyoming Entrepreneur Procurement Technical Assistance Center to help you obtain government contracts, and about the U.S. Small Business Administration's contracting and business development programs, and how they might be able to benefit your business. One-on-one assistance will be available upon request the next morning from 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. for those attending the workshop.
WHEN: Wednesday, August 4, 2010, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m
WHERE: Albany County Library, 310 South 8th Street, Laramie.
FEE: Free!
