Expanding Business Opportunities in Rural Wisconsin – Juneau County

November 13, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Federal government can be a great customer for your business – especially if you are a small business. The challenge is to know WHAT they buy, HOW they buy it, and WHEN they buy it – AND THEN – how your business can take those first steps to SUCCESSFULLY SELL to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  Wisconsin is home to many Federal opportunities from Ft. McCoy, US Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, US Forest Service and VA Hospitals and Clinics.  It is also home to a number of large prime contractors including Oshkosh Defense, Wisconsin Physician Services and Michels.

During this session you will learn how to:

  • Determine if your small business qualifies for Federal small business certifications.
  • Leverage your Federal small business certifications targeting HUBZone, veteran, woman and disadvantaged businesses
  • Identify if the government is buying what you are selling
  • Identify and take the first steps in entering the Federal market as a prime or subcontractor
  • Leverage regional resources that can assist your business

Be prepared to introduce your business at the start of the event and network once the formal program has concluded.  Bring your business cards and capabilities statements.
