What We Can Do For You

We help Virginia businesses identify, compete for, and win government contracts.
Our assistance includes teaching, mentoring, one on one assistance and coaching. We also provide our clients with a set of electronic tools to research and identify government contracting opportunities.
Our services are available at no cost to any Virginia business within our area of coverage, large or small, that possesses the interest and potential to perform work — as a prime contractor or a subcontractor — for federal, state or local government agencies.
