@@FedAccess do you have a patreon link
That's kind of you to ask! I don't have a patreon link. Two ways you can help support what I'm doing: share the videos to help grow the channel, and suggest ideas for future videos. Since i've spent many decades doing this, i don't remember what questions beginners need answered. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the fantastic information! As a new starting business owner, the video you shared here is greatly informative. As an asian environmental engineer laid off from a major oil company last year, I am sort of struggling to step up for my next career opportunity, but no clear straight pathway to get right information. Honestly too much overwhelming information everywhere, but your video clips are wonderful sources for me. Thank you!!
I'm glad you found me! Watch my videos and keep learning, and post your questions. I often make videos in response to questions from viewers like you.
God bless you. This is my only ray of hope

Thanks For The Information
Excellent content, thank you!
thank you for great information keep safe.
This is a awesome video. Thank you for the info..
incredible content. Thank you!
I contacted my local PTAC but the representative I was in contact with via email told me the government does not like doing business with new businesses with less then 2 years in the industry. Which I knew was total bologna. She then suggested I contact SBA for help. Can you make a video breaking down what you say to potential sub contractors when you’re doing market research on a solicitation to make sure you have the correct price on that bid. Thanks 🙏🏾
Can you make a video on transportation
thank you. Great information.
Thank you for all the efforts and hard work you are doing to educate others to grow their business. Just one question i have is that how to bid on millions of dollars of contracts if you only have half a million to roll in your company?? I have seen companies doing millions of dollars contracts and i know them personally that they don’t have millions in their account.
There are lots of ways to get financing for government contracts. For example, a line of credit from your bank, or factoring invoices. This is not my area of expertise. If you contact your local SBDC, i suspect someone there can help you learn about financing options. Their help is free.
Very informative! Double like!
Much appreciated!
Thank you
thank you
Thank you so much for doing this video.
I am glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the inside details. Im following a contract that requires a NIST assessment.
Do you have any information how to perform that?
Do you have a website to contact you?
GovAccess thanks a ton for great info here. My question is do I have get a LLC or s-Corp or can I just go cheaper with a sole proprietorship when setting up my small business??
Technically you can start as a sole proprietorship, but there are good reasons why you might want an LLC. You should discuss this with your attorney and CPA for your particular circumstances. Do let the CPA know you are interested in government contracting, as government contracting has its own set of accounting rules
Thank you for this
thank you,i am new to the gov contract field and am trying to understand whats going on
Good for you!
I truly understand, van be overwhelming, but from testimonials, can be very rewarding.
Meant can, my apologies
Thanks great info!
Glad it was helpful!
@@FedAccess my partner in Hawaii is a woman and a minority . With all the military activity there I've been wondering if she can get some contracts for our container shipping company. I've also got a furniture store in a disadvantaged area on the mainland. Wondering what I can sell thats in high demand with the Feds.
I would start talking to buyers. Check out my video: ruclips.net/video/fKoVaeJM_sk/видео.html And remember that most businesses get their start with subcontracting, so you may want to start there. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/BHx3R6T7PGc/видео.html. Let me know how it goes!
Can't thank you enough!! U've asked for nothing but a subscribe share & like!! FANTASTIC POST.
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks Alot! Would you have any documents you can share that could be revised?
I'm having problems as a home based business with vendors
Thank you so much!!!!!
Glad it helped!
This video opened my eyes. I would love to learn more. How do I contact you?
I have alot of videos that will help you learn the ropes of government contracting!
Thankyou very helpful
I'm glad it helped you!
Thank You!
You're welcome!
We are interested in purchasing and existing government contractor. Do you have any videos that addresses this?
Madam,
I watch your video, all the details are explained very well in your video. I hope a lot of people have been impressed by your blog.
I am also a civil contractor of Indian government and annually complete government works contract worth ₹ 2.5 crores and in current year the work of Indian government works contract worth ₹ 3 crores is in running progress.
Madam I am an Indian government contractor, so can I start a federal government civil works contractor business in America?
Please guide me, I will be grateful to you for this.
Congratulations on your success! Have you considered teaming with a US company? Some government contracts require that the owner be a US Citizen, others do not. So you don't have to have a US partner, but, it will open up more opportunities if you do. I advise most people who are starting out to consider teaming, and that is especially true in your case. Good luck!
This is very informative. Question, would you go to aptac to register as a women lead or based business certification? How many certificates are good to have when submitting proposals?
This video explains how to apply for women-owned small business certification: ruclips.net/video/Y4dIHKTHZXw/видео.html. You apply through the government website, and i walk you through the process in this video. However, PTAC can help you with the application if you need help.
@@FedAccess thank you. I will be checking this video out tonight.
Great video, just seen this but how can I become a middleman/consultant service to construction companies owners after I can do government contracting?? Where can I get info from
Thank you
My pleasure! Let me know if you have questions as you go through the process
As a prime, there is a portion of work required for my company to perform... but as a subcontractor can I subsequently sub out 95-100 percent of the work if I'm selected as a subcontractor by a prime? This speaks to how I would formulate (taylor) my capabilities statement.
You need to read the individual solicitation to see what it requires. If you have found your target customer, then you can download the past solicitations to see what the requirements are.
Can suggest a type of product that would be good for a small business new to working with DLA to supply?
How can I sell laptops to Sam gov? Any links or RUclips videos would be great. Thank u!
You'll want to check out GSA Schedules. I talk about it a bit in my video Find Out What the Government Pays....
What is the name of your video that show how to complete a bid and submit it?
How to Write a Government Proposal ruclips.net/video/ROukOlpuw6U/видео.html
What kind of insurance do you need
The solicitation will specify the kinds of insurance required. You'll probably need General Liability insurance, and Workers Compensation for your employees. What else you need will depend on your line of business. I suggest getting to know a local insurance agent. They'll be able to give you quotes on the insurance you need.
CAN BUSINESSES THAT MANUFACTURE THE PRODUCT BID ON THOSE SAME PRODUCTS WE BIDDERS WISH TO SELL? ARE THEY ABLE TO COMPETE FOR THE CONTRACT?
They can bid if they meet the eligibility requirements. For example, if the contract is set aside for small businesses, they can bid if they qualify as a small business.
What do you do or what Can you do when there are no small business in the US who produce a particular pesticide. This NAICS 325320 is on the non-manufactuer waiver list. I reached out to the only two big companies who produce this pesticide, and they are both Canadian companies. I was talking to a distributor who was going to work with me but his dealer Chemtica (one of the 2 Canadian companies) said his contract forbids them. These two companies use their suppliers/distributors in a way where it knocks out the competition of any American owned companies looking to supply this product. I would be grateful for your insight.
There are so many pieces and parts to government contracting, that no one person can possibly know them all. To answer this question you need a person with this particular expertise. Here's what I'd do. I'd call the head of my local PTAC and explain my question and ask them to connect you with a PTAC counselor with that specific expertise. PTAC exists to help companies bid on government contracts and their help is free! You may have to talk to several people to find the right person, but you should be able to find a counselor with this expertise.
Thank you so much for the information it’s been very helpful. I do have a question to ask you or more so advice. That I’d rather ask in private, is it ok if I send you a direct message?
You can message me through the FedAccess Facebook page
@@FedAccess will do…Thanks!
Hi, do you offer any paid training for someone with a business trying to break into the government space?
My Course was made for people like you! Watch all of it here: ruclips.net/p/PLsPU_DAGB86_va5G7RmM6r1ZyuhxpYaGN
Am a subscriber to your channel and love all that you do for free thank you so much. My question is how do you arrive at the size metrjc? I own 1 truck and been in business for only 3 years, if my annual receipts is less than 100000 how do I put this correctly as not reflect numbers in millions , also am operating only in USA not worldwide how do I do this please help am stuck completing the SAMS registration
It sounds like you certainly qualify as a small business. If your average annual receipts are $100,000, just enter that number when they ask for your annual receipts. If they ask you to enter the number in millions of dollars, then you would enter 0.1 million.
@@FedAccess thank you so much
thanks for the info,can you please be my mentor
What if I starting out with no prior experience like no past performance when it come to Capailibatie statement?????
Can you team with a business that does have experience?
@@FedAccess yes
Which one is better LLC, Sole proprietorship?
The answer will depend on what your business does and what your plans are for the business (e.g., are you looking to build a large business and sell it) I suggest you contact your local SBDC. They have training and counselors who can help you understand the options and figure out what is best for your company.
What if the zone I live in isn’t a hub zone but I do work in a hub zone that’s sixty miles from me?
The requirements for HubZone certification are:
The business principal office must be located within a HUBZone, and
At least 35% of its employees must reside in a HUBZone.
So, you don't have to live in a HUBZone so long as some of your employees do
I've been a service provider for labor for large contacts during storm season. My issue is those with the contracts are less than honest. For someone like me would I be able to get contracts as a labor provider and project manager?
Where do I start?
I've had crews working in PR
The Virgin Islands as well as across the country over the years.
Forgive my ignorance but if I can control the flow of contracts the overall success would increase. That's what I'm thinking.
Please advise the best direction for someone like me.
Thanks
Sounds like you have a great business and solid business experience as a subcontractor. Why not start bidding and become a prime contactor yourself?
@@FedAccess
That's the new plan. Just absorbing as much as I can so I can begin.
My partner and I operate as consultants at the moment and after so many years of doing this we're excited at the potential.
What if you are the only employee? Could I Steel qualify for hub zone
Yes, if you live in a HUBZone and your principal office is in a HUBZone.
@@FedAccess thank you
Can I contact you directly to discuss about our situation? We do have 8a and Stars III
I don't work as a consultant but I'm happy to answer questions here. You can also contact me through the FedAccess Facebook page. Congratulations on the STARS III! That's great!
