Government Business is Large

If the government sector were an industry, it would rank among the Top 10 in terms of sales. It makes up a sizable portion of the economy.

Small Businesses Have a Manageable Contract Grouping

The federal government wants to cooperate with small businesses. As a result, the government requires that nearly all contracts valued at more than $3,000 but less than $100,000 go to approved small businesses.

Consistent Business

In contrast to the private sector, where spending varies more during the economic cycle, government spending is steady. Furthermore, during these periods, the government typically increases spending.

Fair Process

The government's purchase process is very open and transparent, unlike some private sector transactions. Many of the goods and services required by government agencies are purchased from vendors who meet specific criteria. In order to obtain certain goods and services, they follow defined procedures. Contracting can grow into a successful business if you are prepared to put in the time to become familiar with these rules.

Large Growth Opportunity

Selling goods and services to government organizations has helped many small businesses grow into larger ones.

Makes you a Safe Choice for All Customers

Being a vendor for the federal government carries some level of distinction. If you are already doing business with the government, prospective clients will view your company as thoroughly vetted.

Increases Likelihood Your Business Gets Purchased

Last but not least, working with the federal government defies logic in that small businesses with solid connections within a particular agency may occasionally be strategically bought for those connections that a major company may want or need.
