Marketing and Procurement Assistance
Our professional staff works with our resource partners, other SBDCs, a market research service, and the SBA to research your market and assist in the marketing of small business products and services to the public and private sectors alike. The DC SBDC Network submits market research request to SBDCNet, the official National Information Clearinghouse of the U.S. Small Business Administration. SBDCNet is funded in part by a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
