GREAT NEWS- We have partnered with WACommerce a privately held company which is a business development and lead resource program. They have been working with local businesses to customize a program that helps support nearly any business with direct product sales, more subcontracting and partnership opportunities.

Subject: Local contracts for small to medium business owners

Did you know…. Pierce County Companies lost over $7.2 million dollars contracted to out-of-state companies? WE missed out on most of those contracts because we either didn’t know about them or know what we needed to do to get those contracts. That was over $7,200,000 million dollars! Some of these were opportunities you likely did not know about.

Did you know that the $7.2 million dollars consisted of contracts ranging from $2,400 to $100,000. Pierce County agencies and private organizations purchase all types of materials and services such as;

Construction, Grounds Maintenance, Financial Services, Janitorial, Professional Counseling, Signage, Web Design, Furniture, School Supplies, IT Development, Electrical, Plumbing, Security Systems, Picture Frames, Auto Parts, Green Products, Food Services, Telecom Services, Vehicle Leasing, Remodeling, Security Officers, Real Estate, Direct Product Sales & More

In these tough economic times business is hard enough to come by. Even worse, you may be losing out on more work in our local area because you simply do not know where or how to find information on these opportunities.
