Your business deserves to be in the spotlight, right? Anybody would love to be considered by any government agency.
It is the best form of advertising that you can get for your company.
It is the break that every small business wants to have.
But what is one of the first steps to make this happen? Of course, you have to register.
Registering your business automatically makes you eligible to be a vendor in government procurement.
What is ORCA (Online Representations and Certifications Application)? One of the registrations that you have to secure is ORCA registration.
When you have ORCA registration under your company's wing, you are already in the roster of potential government procurement suppliers.
Your business is already visible to everyone and the possibility of getting chosen is a level higher.
You very well know that managing your own business is challenging enough.
But you take a larger cookie into your mouth when you enter government procurement.
The responsibility of knowing the various strategies and techniques is on your shoulders.
Aside from these valuable components, you also have to be familiar with the regulations that are established by the government with regard to procurement and one of them is having both ORCA registration and CCR registration.
These two registrations are mandated if you would really want to get that government contract.
How to Register It is common notion that getting your business to be part of the government procurement market is very difficult and nearly impossible.
Not true.
Any small business can join negotiations and bids so long as they have CCR registration and ORCA registration.
ORCA makes use of the data that you have initially provided CCR for the certificates that they have to issue before the company gets to be part of government procurement.
It is an online registration so you don't have to sweat it out somewhere.
