Holomua Consulting Group Launches Office Hours

2/29/2016

We at Holomua Consulting Group are often contacted by individuals and businesses with questions on various topics related to federal contracting. Often, we get the same or similar questions from different individuals and at the very least, the information we provide in response to these inquiries may be relevant or of interest to a broader audience.

In order to: (1) provide you with the information you really want; (2) make that information accessible to others; and (3) accomplish those things in an interactive format, we've decided to launch our very first Office Hours.

What It Is: HCG Office Hours is a 1-hour live Q&A session done via webinar.

When: Thursday, March 24, 2016 from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

Who: Our Team (Shannon, Daphne & Kanoe) and YOU!

Topic: Small business contracting programs such as the 8(a) Business Development, WOSB/EDWOSB, HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Examples include: what does it mean to be economically disadvantaged, how can these programs benefit me, how long is the application process for the 8(a) program and much more!

How It Works: Submit your questions in advance via email at info@holomuaconsulting.com or when you register for our Office Hours and we will answer them during the webinar. We will also be taking questions during the live webinar.

We hope to see you online on March 24!

HCG Offers New Workshop on SAM Registration

2/5/2016

0 Comments

The System for Award Management (SAM) is an online system/database that is owned and operated by the Federal Government. SAM replaced the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system in 2012 and is the single point of entry for vendors that want to do business with the Federal Government. Thus, registration in SAM is a required first step for any prospective federal vendor, contractor or grant seeker.

Registration in SAM is FREE! However, navigating the registration process can often be confusing and frustrating because: (1) it is certainly not the most user-friendly system; and (2) it contains quite a bit of technical language and legalese. This workshop is designed as a hands-on workshop to walk you through the registration process for your individual business. By the end of the workshop, your registration will be submitted to SAM for their review and approval.

When: Thursday, March 31, 2016 from 10:00 - Noon
Where: Holomua Consulting Group's Training Area
3375 Koapaka Street, Suite C320
Honolulu, HI 96819
Fee: $75

Please see flyer below for more information, including requirements for registering for this workshop. To register, please contact us at: (808) 369-9710 or info@holomuaconsulting.com.
