Today on one my listgroups, there was a question about how to get on a schedule for the government. Personally I don't think a schedule is always that useful at least for a company that is starting out but it is another way for a customer to get to you if you want to sell within the public sector. Today I'll show you some local resources that any small business can reach-out to get yes "FREE" help. This is not completely true across the board as some charge minor fees. But the costs are fairly low.
If you want to work in the defense sector, you can contact a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC).

For any small business, you can contact a Small Business Development Center.

For woman-owned businesses, you may contact a women's business center.
(The SBA website is broken) so I would google WBC or look them up in your local phonebook. They are not in every location.
Also a final resource is SCORE,

Hopefully this is helpful advice to my average readers.
