[blockquote align="left"]Doing business with the Federal Government can be incredibly rewarding, but requires correctly navigating through a monstrous bureaucracy.[/blockquote]
Maybe you are you a service member thinking of leaving the service and using your expertise to go into business for yourself?

Maybe you are currently working with the Federal government, but you'd like to venture out on your own.

Maybe you already have a business, but you're not sure what steps you need to take to sell your services to the federal government.

Doing business with the federal government can be a very complicated, bureaucratic nightmare. Several colleagues and I had been executives in a large, top-10 federal contractor and recently ventured out to start a business on our own. We were shocked at how difficult the process was, and we wished that there was a resource that we could go to that would walk us through what we needed to know, step-by-step. We made many mistakes along the way, but thanks to our many combined decades in the industry, we survived and did well. But we realized that many people won't have the same background we had, and for them, the process is so overwhelming, many people don't even attempt to follow their dreams.

We started this website to share what we've learned. The federal government needs creative entrepreneurs like YOU that are willing to take a risk because you have a service that can help them. The fiscal tides are turning in Washington. Agencies have now realized that many large businesses simply exist to extract money from them, and not really to solve their problems. They know that small business are usually different. Small businesses, when they get the opportunity, do a great job delivering the required service or product, many times at much better prices than the government could obtain if it selected a large business to do the work. It's all based on something called multiples, and rates - something that our interactive guide will walk you through in detail, and show you how to compete and WIN with larger, more entrenched competitors.

To show you the value of this material, we decided to make a large portion of it free. This site will walk you through what you need to know, step-by-step, to:
<ul>
<ul>[framed_box]<h3>Select your new company's name</h3><br>We'll show you how to search across the internet to make sure that you won't run into any trademark issues. And we'll show you how to take the right steps from the beginning to protect your brand! [/framed_box]</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li><span>Select between various types of entities, based on your individual needs: there are reams of advice out there on entity types, but almost none of this advice takes into account some of the unique needs of a business that will primarily sell to the government. We have an online interactive questionnaire that will walk you through everything you need to consider in making this decision.</span></li>
	<li><span>Register your new entity with all the required organizations: part of the bureaucratic nightmare of doing business with the government is knowing all the organizations you need to register with. We have a detailed guide to each of these organizations. We'll show you what their role is, how critical they are to you (depending on what you want to provide to the government), and help you understand the timelines involved in registering with each so you can schedule.</span></li>
	<li><span style="color: #000000;">Market your service or product, and identify which organizations might buy it: one of the biggest challenges new entrepreneurs have in selling to the government is understanding the many avenues available for business development. We'll walk you through each of these avenues step-by-step, highlighting the pros and cons of each, and help you prioritize your time to win.</span></li>
	<li><span style="color: #000000;">Create teaming relationships with large businesses who need your company's services for their bids: the scale of many bids means that new enterprises need to team with larger ones to pursue them. But how should you go about pursuing these? We'll provide a guide that can help you navigate through these channels and go direct to teaming partners within large businesses who need your services without getting stopped by a gatekeeper.</span></li>
	<li><span style="color: #000000;">Identify special small business set-asides: The government is setting aggressive goals for small business procurements, and these set asides and targets mean opportunity for you. These small business goals can take many forms, from specific contracts that only small businesses are eligible to compete in, to larger efforts with specific goals stating the percentage of the overall value of the work that must be subcontracted to small businesses. </span></li>
	<li>Gain special statuses, such as 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran: many additional set-asides and contract requirements are available within additional special categories. We'll walk you through each special category, and let you use our interactive questionnaire to see whether or not you meet the qualifications of each. If you don't, we'll show you everything you need to qualify and win, including the timelines you can expect for approval, and what you need to research to ensure that your application is processed as quickly as possible.</li>
	<li>Our expert consultants are available to answer questions for you at a fraction of the cost of that you would pay a lawyer. We can help get you ready for any attorney meetings so that you have what you need to make the conversation as productive and cost effective for you as possible!</li>
