Business Accelerators Program

The Business Accelerator Program is designed to equip small business owners with the tools and knowledge needed to grow their businesses and access new opportunities. Through this program, participants will learn how to navigate government contracting, understand procurement processes, and position their businesses to compete for public sector contracts. The workshops cover essential topics such as responding to requests for proposals (RFPs), registering as a government vendor, and building capacity for growth.

In addition to training on government contracting, the program also provides guidance on how to become certified as a Minority-, Woman-, or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MWBE/DBE). Certification can open doors to additional contracting opportunities and set businesses apart in competitive bidding processes. Participants will receive support in understanding the certification requirements and completing the necessary steps to apply. Overall, Business Accelerators aims to help entrepreneurs expand their reach and build a strong foundation for long-term success.
