Want to win bigger Federal contracts, but don’t always have the capability to self-perform the work? Or…about to out-grow your small business size standard, and need a strategy for robust transition into mid-tier?

Done correctly, a joint venture under a mentor-protégé program can expand both partners’ capabilities, open up whole new streams of revenue and create a foundation for strong growth transitions. Miss a step, though, and you’ll risk serious negative consequences.

Join us to explore cooperative contractor relationships – including teaming and joint ventures. These strategies are getting more attention than ever from small and large businesses alike, and for good reason. The Small Business Administration’s new “All Small” mentor-protégé program made it easier than ever for contractors to partner up with a mentor or protégé, and to form joint ventures for powerful competitive advantages.

You’ll learn:

• How SBA’s Mentor-Protégé program works and who is eligible
• What special advantages mentors & proteges have under this program
• Common pitfalls and risks, and strategies to avoid them
• Best practices for setting up a compliant Joint Venture agreement

Presentation: Just 30 minutes!
