Pikes Peak SBDC Training Site-Catalyst Campus

Topic: Veterans Education

Description:

Myth or fact? The U.S. Government prefers to buy from Veteran-Owned businesses. You've heard the rumors now get the facts! This interactive presentation will cover all the legal aspects of the federal government's preferences and the requirements for businesses claiming veteran's status. Some of the questions that will be answered are: - Does your current or planned business qualify for veteran's status? - What percentage of disability is required to claim this status? - What's the difference between self-certification and certification through the Veterans Administration (VA)? - Can I do it myself? - Is the certification worth my time? - Does the State of Colorado have a preference as well? - Is it true that I can get FREE business assistance and FREE help selling to the government? Attendees will leave with answers to all these questions as more! The Colorado Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) will present this topic in partnership with the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and it's open to all veteran's, veteran's spouses, children, or any others that wish to learn about the certification requirements.
