Before You Bid: Licensing, Bonding & Insurance Readiness
Register
Before a subcontractor can land the big contracts, they need to clear a few critical hurdles: licensing, bonding, and insurance. But for many small business owners, these requirements are confusing, intimidating, and expensive.
Join the Foundation for Better Business for our Path to Partnership series as part of our Blueprint program for trades-related small businesses. On Tuesday, July 29 at 11:30 a.m., enjoy a dynamic session where we’ll bring together experts from government, insurance, and industry to break down what’s really required—and how to get it done. From trade licensing to surety bonding to liability coverage, we’ll cover:
What’s required to qualify for public and private contracts
Common mistakes that keep businesses from being contract-ready
Where to go for support, resources, and access to capital
How to reduce risk and stay compliant as you scale
You’ll walk away with actionable steps, trusted resources, and connections to help you confidently pursue larger opportunities.
Registration is free and lunch is provided!
