Small Biz Basics: Small Biz Contractor Relationships

SMALL BIZ BASICS: Doing Business with the Federal Government as a Small Business Series

Session – Small Biz Basics: Small Biz Contractor Relationships

Small businesses often cannot perform all the contractual obligations alone and need to consider bringing in partners through contractual relationships like Teaming Agreements, Subcontracts, and Joint Ventures. However, this can trigger a finding of Affiliation, which counts the partner’s revenue or employee headcount together with the small business. Affiliation can often render the small business an other-than-small business (i.e. a large business), and no longer eligible for set-aside contracts.  This session will discuss the regulatory requirements and exclusions that apply to contractor relationships.
