Understanding how to “Do Business with the Government” can feel overwhelming—I know because I’ve been in your shoes.
When I began my journey in government contracting back in the late 70s, I knew absolutely nothing. But with the help of incredible mentors and a lot of determination, I learned the process step by step until it became second nature.
Here’s what I want you to know: Government Contracting on all levels isn’t just for big corporations. Small businesses like yours have tremendous opportunities—you just need the right guidance and a clear path to follow.
FYI! There are several levels of Government Contracting. Most small businesses only look at the Federal Government contracting opportunities. You have your Local and State Government, as well.
As a start, I have over 45 years of hands-on experience in Government Contracting. This experience is available to support you on your journey whether it's at the local, state or federal level.
So, take a deep breath—you are more than capable of doing this. And the best part, you don’t have to do it alone. My team and I are here to guide you every step of the way..
Sincerely,
Ernise Cummings
