Government Assistance

In general, I am very much a critic of the obstacles and paper beaurocracy that our government has placed in front of small business. It is indeed a formidable and depressing task to figure out not only the process, but the appropriate agency to contact with a business idea or model.

However, I recently worked with an agency that is affiliated with George Mason University. This agency works from a small grant and is set up to help small business begin to do business with local, state and federal agencies.

My experience was very positive. This group saved me countless weeks, if not months, of wasted time and effort. My hats are off to this individual and group.

I hate to be vague as to this agency, but I do not want to give too much information to my competitors......LOL
