Hi everyone, 

If you attended the OSDBU Conference last week, you were at one of the largest conferences held nationwide for small business owners who want to sell to the federal government. My Tips and Trends session was standing room only and I have offered to send the Powerpoint and related documents to anyone who sends an email to request them.
 
Remember, federal, state and local goverments buy virtually every product or service available. If you aren't selling to the government, you should be!
 
Contact us today, we are here to help you. Call us toll-free at 1-866-579-1346 or send an email to info@targetgov.com.

Accounting for Government Contractors Teleconference
 
 May 22, 2008 Thursday, 1:00 to 2:00 pm EST
 
Most government contractors do not consider their accounting needs until after they win a contract. This can be a recipe for disaster. Successful companies know what is required to satisfy special government contract needs and prepares upfront - even before preparing the proposal!
 
Register for this TargetGov Teleconference for the most informative time you can spend and save yourself frustration and worry about pricing and audits!

Government Withholding
Relief Coalition
 
The DoD's report on their cost estimate for compliance with the 3% withholding law states:

DoD anticipates the costs for DoD to comply with section 511 will be significant - over $17 billion for the first five years. The estimated cost impact includes the costs for DoD to implement and manage section 511 within DoD and the additional costs escalation DoD will pay its contractors as a result of section 511. Further, DoD is concerned that section 511 may limit the number of companies willing to enter into the government market, thereby reducing competition and access to new technologies, and may cause other unintended consequences that are addressed in the report.

 
National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
 
New Health Care Legislation
Targets Small Business
 
Health care is a hot issue in Campaign 2008, and we can expect to see a host of health care solutions proposed in Congress starting now and continuing into next year. In recent weeks, leading Senators have introduced two approaches that seek to help small business owners facing major increases in the cost of health insurance.
