Procurement
Procurement refers to the act of buying products or services to support the business operations of an organization. Governmental organizations as well as large companies, buy products or services from small business.
The process of selling to the government can be complicated and time consuming. Fortunately, the Government and other entities are opening up the process by providing informative websites, training, certifications, assistance, in order to facilitate opportunities for small businesses.
