Two Ways That Small Businesses Can Simplify Their Government Purchases

Among America’s small businesses—especially those with 20 employees or less-- that seek government contracts, many are too resource strapped to handle the burdensome paperwork involved.  Recognizing this, the federal government has at least two programs that significantly reduce the red tape.

A second way is with micro-purchases.  These purchases typically are under $3,500 but can range up to $15,000 with some government purchasing officers who have an extra allotment of SmartPay credits.  The benefit of micro-purchases is that small companies can make these without having to register on www.FedBizOpps.com.   To find out more, read paragraphs 1 and 2 of 3 Easy Ways For Small Businesses to Wind Government Contracts According to US Federal Contractor Registration.  Just click on the following link:  http://www.itbusinessnet.com/article/3-Easy-Ways.
