Unlock a New Revenue Stream: Government Contracting for Growth-Ready Businesses

June 26, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

You've built something real. Your business is profitable, established, and ready for the next level of growth. But if you've ever wondered whether government contracts could be part of your strategy, you've likely hit the same wall most business owners do: where do you even start?

Here's what most business owners don't realize: the U.S. Government and its network of buyers, including federal agencies, the U.S. military, state agencies, county governments, municipalities, public school systems, universities, and public utilities, collectively represent the single largest purchaser of goods and services in the nation. Billions of dollars in contracts are awarded every year, and a significant portion is specifically set aside for small businesses.

Most of that spending never reaches businesses like yours, not because you aren't qualified, but because navigating the path to a contract can feel like learning a foreign language.

That changes at this session. 

The Chatham Chamber is bringing in expert business counselors from the Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC), who have helped hundreds of small- and mid-sized businesses across North Carolina turn government contracts into real, sustainable revenue. They'll guide you through the process step by step, so you leave with clarity, not just questions.

What you'll walk away knowing:

  • How to bid for and land government contracts
  • How to navigate RFPs (Requests for Proposal)
  • What's available at the federal, state, and local levels, and how to position your business to win

This session is designed for businesses that are ready:

  • In operation for 2+ years
  • Profitable and not currently reliant on government contracts
  • Ready to commit the time and team capacity needed to pursue and win contracts

This is a dynamic, interactive, and thought-provoking session, not a lecture. Come prepared to engage, ask questions, and leave with a real action plan.

Your next revenue stream might already be waiting. Let's help you find it.
