The SBDC provides a full spectrum of consulting services at no charge to its small business owner clients.  The SBDC can advise business owners on how to obtain their share of the contracting pie.  Karla indicated that contracting opportunities could be at the federal, state or city level and three hot industries are janitorial, professional services and construction.

1.Understand your product/service  and see if it lends itself  to contracting
2. Make sure you have enough financing/capital avialable
