How to Do Business with the State of California

Description: 

Would you like to add the State of California to your client list? Every day, California state agencies are purchasing the goods and services they need for their day to day operations.  Some of these are contracted purchases while others are discretionary. This presentation will provide tips and resources to get you started on your way to doing business with the State. We’ll show you how to register your business on CAL e-Procure and apply for certification as a Small Business.  We’ll also show you where to find additional resources such as marketing your business to the state and scheduling one on one consultations with state Business Outreach Liaisons.
