It is imperative that Small Business Owners desiring to contract with the Federal Government be aware of Small Business Contracting rules, regulations, and compliance issues. 

 A comprehensive review of SBA regulations, rules, and compliance standards compiled by the Congressional Research Service is quite helpful in preparing to contract with the United States. See: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45576.pdf.

Anticipating problems is often as good as avoiding problems from the outset in contracting with the United States. When problems arise, they often include, among other things, civil litigation including penalties for violating SBA Rules and Regulations. Problems can be as simple as failing to qualify as a recipient under the SBA Rules and Regulations or as complicated as billing anomalies which create claims of defrauding the United States Government.

Obviously, these issues may also include certain criminal claims. Candidly, having an attorney versed in both SBA civil contracting and SBA’s criminal statutory claims allows you to rest assured that your defense against any claims brought by the United States is appropriately addressed.
