what clients say
The most valuable asset of the 8(a) Accelerator is bringing the small business cohort together as a group and inviting legacy graduates to participate as speakers.
Joining this accelerator program was a game-changer for us. Just three months earlier, we had secured our 8(a) certification, and a month before that, we landed our first major subcontract, expanding our team from 3 to 16 members. By the time we concluded the program, we had gained a more profound insight into pinpointing financial risks, effectively utilizing fractional resources to maintain accuracy and oversight on our financial records, harnessing legal expertise for safeguarding our business and ensuring compliance, enhancing our probability of winning through tailored processes and tools, and forging robust and efficient teaming partnerships.
As a result of attending the Power of Business Credit Open Door, I was able to locate what items a bank needed to see on my credit report would influence my business credit.
I feel donors continue to support the BIC based on our government contracting expertise and resources, reputation in the county, proven track record with small business.
