Welcome to the California Capital APEX Accelerator
The California Capital APEX Accelerator helps established businesses prepare for, pursue, and perform on contracts with all levels of government and public agencies. Our no-cost services include one-on-one counseling, training events on beginning and advanced topics, and bid matching. We provide services to businesses whose primary offices are in the following counties: Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo, and Yuba.
Our team of counselors has decades of experience in entrepreneurship, government buying (procurement) policies and practices, marketing, and more. We can help you understand the basics of doing business with government agencies, including: securing the necessary state and federal certifications; market research; how to market for government contracts; how to find bid opportunities; sub-contracting with large “prime” contractors; preparing proposals, and more.
If you’re ready to grow your business by entering the government contracting market, you’re in the right place–but there are a few things you should know first. Read our Government Contracting 101 deep dive to learn the foundational principles of doing business with the largest buyer of goods and services in the world.
Our calendar is full of opportunities to learn the ins and outs of contracting. Recurring topics include introductions to federal contracting, strategies for subcontracting, how to conduct market research, the benefits of certifications, and more.
The APEX team is available to connect and set you on the path to success in the contracting market. Meet the team and contact them today.
