Achieving Success in the 8(a) Business Development Program
The attorneys of General Counsel, P.C. have been assisting 8(a) companies for over twenty-five years- almost since shortly the inception of the program. Many of our 8(a) clients have achieved their goals. One has grown into a publicly traded company. Others sold for strong multiples upon graduation from the 8(a) program. As the number of companies in the 8(a) program has grown, however, it is clear that not all are positioned to achieve success.
Based on our quarter century of experience helping 8(a) companies succeed, we have designed a 4-Part Seminar Series for 8(a) businesses like yours that provides valuable skills for achieving success.
Presenters will include General Counsel, P.C. attorneys, commercial bankers who work with 8(a) companies, investment bankers who have successfully handled the sale of 8(a) graduates, and business owners/managers who have led their companies through all phases of the 8(a) program.
Location: Tower Club, 8000 Towers Crescent Drive, Suite 1700, Vienna, VA 22182
Cost: $35.00. However, free for current General Counsel, P.C. clients and any new clients receive credit for seminar fee on first invoice.
Food: Full continental breakfast will be provided.
