OMS Coffee Talk SBA Programs and Empower to Grow (E2G) Program

We will discuss the 8(a) Business Development Program, HUBZone Program, Veteran-Owned Program, Women-Owned Program and E2G Program.

Grab a cup of coffee and join your local SBA Outreach and Marketing Specialist (OMS) Bettina Schreiner to learn more about SBA Programs and the E2G Program.

Getting SBA certifications offers significant benefits for your small business, including:

• Access to Government Contracts: Certified businesses can compete for federal contracts set aside specifically for small businesses. The federal government allocates billions of dollars annually for these contracts.
• Business Development Opportunities: Programs like the 8(a) Business Development Program provide assistance and access to set-aside contracts.
• Competitive Advantage: Certifications like HUBZone can give your business price evaluation preferences and help you compete in historically underutilized business zones.
• Capacity Building: These programs help you develop skills and position your business for success in federal contracting.

The Empower to Grow (E2G) Program provides eligible U.S. small businesses with free business courses, tailored training, and one-on-one consulting to support their growth, operations, hiring, regulatory compliance, and government contracting competitiveness. The E2G program uplifts businesses to be procurement ready for federal, state, and local government contracts.

We look forward to seeing you!
