Small Businesses and Government Contracts

On Monday the Wall Street Journal published an article on small businesses and the government's stimulus contracts that caught my attention. It is about the owner of a small publishing-services company that is pursuing government contracts. Titled Small Businesses Chase Big Stimulus Money the article explains what is to be expected when pursuing government contracts and what the outlook is for small businesses looking for those contracts.

Something that caught my eye, as a woman who owns a small business, is that the federal government has a goal each year to award 23% of its procurement dollars to small businesses. And one of their targets is for women-owned businesses. To find out more about this check out the article at the Wall Street Journal linked to above.
