SUMMARY:Government and Corporate Procurement for Black-Owned Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Small Businesses are leaving an astounding amount of money on the table – This training is about showing up and taking your share!! \nThe federal government alone spent almost $250B with small businesses in 2018! More money would be set aside for small businesses\, if they only show up. The story is the same on the city/state and corporate levels. RightSource Services has partnered with the Los Angeles Small Business Development Center to train established small businesses to participate in the incredible procurement opportunities available through corporate and government entities. The training takes companies from identifying opportunities all the way to responding to their first request. \nThis webinar gives an overview of the opportunities available and the training provided by  the LA-SBDC through its partner\, RightSource Services\, to compete effectively and grow your business. \nRightSource follows that up with a six-class series to get procurement-ready businesses through the certification and registration processes and on to actually responding to a contract solicitation. \n  \n
