Become a Government Contractor

According to Entrepreneur Magazine, "the United States government is the world's largest customer. Each year, the federal government and its various agencies procure more than $300 billion of everything from airplanes to zippers."

This means that their are plenty of contracts coming straight from the White House. Oddly enough, very few minority entrepreneurs actualy pursue these opportunities.

$300 billion a year is definitely worth taking a look at. Available government contracts are all listed online at www.fedbizopps.gov

However, first you must register as a contractor at www.ccr.gov. Then, you have to get certified by the National Minority Supplier Council at www.nmsdcus.org

Sounds like a lot of work, and it is. So you better get started!
