Game Changer: The SBA’s Recently Finalized Universal Small Business Mentor-Protege Program

Government contractors, large and small alike, have a major new opportunity to grow, develop, and compete: the SBA’s new small business mentor-protege program, which officially takes effect on August 24, 2016. Open to all small businesses (including SDVOSBs, HUBZones, WOSBs/EDWOSBs, 8(a)s, and “regular” smalls), the new program will change the landscape of federal set-aside contracting.

In this webinar, government contracts attorney Steven Koprince provides a detailed guide to the new program, including eligibility to participate, requirements for a mentor-protege agreement, and an overview of how to form a mentor/protege joint venture.
