Please join us for a panel discussion with California Federal Agency Small Business Professionals (SBP) to learn what their agencies procure, their small business spending goals and achievements, where to find each agency’s procurement forecast of opportunities, and agency specific programs that can help your company find government contracting success!

"I'm so glad that I sought support despite the days when I wanted to let go of the business. Working with a WBC counselor helped me get my financials and business plan in order!"

Brittany Hoffman, Owner of Glass House Garden

“[My WBC business counselor] really went to bat for me. He was instrumental in helping me create a business plan, learn cash flow analysis and determining what to consider to begin the process of finding a storefront. I had no idea where to start.”

Megan Wyatt, Owner of Wit & Whimsy Toys

“A WBC business consultant came into the coffee shop and we connected right away. She keeps me in the loop for training and grant opportunities. She has been instrumental with the information that she puts out to keep me abreast of what’s changing in the industry.”

Antronette Robinson, Owner of Maestro Coffee House

“I have been taking Women’s Business Center classes for years, and I took two courses in 2020 with the intention to get a running start to self-employment. With the skills I learned, I was able to launch two home businesses!”

Ernestine Winston, Owner of Customs by Ernestine

Becoming certified to bid on work for groups and agencies is extremely intimidating. Through their workshops and willingness to answer millions of my questions, APEX helped me simplify the process and pointed me toward agencies interested in our services.
