Given the title, I probably have everyone’s attention right now. Late payments are a bane of any contractor – the killer of cash flow and worse.

The term HUB-Zone is thrown around a lot in government contracting. Many contracts include restrictions that limits bidding to businesses located within a these zones. If you are new to the game, it is easy not to know if the area your business is located in qualifies as a HUB-Zone or even if your business qualifies.
So… what is a HUB zone?
The Small Business Administration (SBA) created the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (frequently referred to as a HUB Zone) program in 1997 when Co… Continue

By now, everyone has thrown in their two cents on President Obama’s proposed budget for the 2010 fiscal year. Most brought up the point that while he plans to cut out $17 billion next year, the $3.2 trillion he spends this year will still hurt the country overall. Many of the articles available don’t dig deep enough to see what exactly President Obama removed from the budget for next year.
Upon opening the Termination, Reductions, and Savings report that the White House recently published onlin… Continue

Among all the concerns small business owners have with government contracting, contract bundling rarely ever comes up in conversation. Part of the issue is that many business owners are only exposed to the negative stereotypes and don’t actually know about many of the real obstacles their company faces with successfully obtaining contracts with Uncle Sam. Contract bundling can potentially be and real impediment to small businesses trying to compete in the government contracting arena.
Now that… Continue

The Employee Free Choice Act, or better known as the EFCA, stands to destroy small business as we know it. This egregious legislation will force small businesses to bow to labor union employment costs, virtually closing the valves on funds for upstart businesses who wish to seek individual image - seperate from the competition. Innovation will become a thing of the past... What have we, the people, done to remain vigilant under such a crisis? We will be instituting the political structure into o… Continue
