Government Contracting Series: Access to Capital – Part 4
Event Details
Veteran’s Vault: Acquiring Capital for Government Contracting Services – Part 4 of the Government Contracting Workshop Series
In this session, veterans who already are or want to become government contractors will learn how to find and get different kinds of funding, such as loans and lines of credit, to help them work on federal, state, and local contracts. We will talk about the most important steps and best ways to make sure your business is ready to borrow money, from filling out applications to building good relationships with lenders. We will also explain why having extra money on hand can help you handle unexpected costs or changes to your contract. By the end of this session, you will have a clear plan for keeping your cash flow strong, creating a smart funding strategy, and going after government contracts with confidence so your business can grow. You will learn how to organize your budget, plan for the future, and find helpful resources that can guide you when you need extra support. This knowledge will help you feel ready to face the challenges of working with government agencies.
This workshop is part of a series of four workshops including:
- Getting Started with Government Contracting
- Government Certifications and Capabilities Statement
- Responding to Solicitations
After completion of the workshop series, sign up for a no-cost one-on-one consultation to assist you with your next steps and get a certificate of completion from the NorCal VBOC.
