So You Want To Be a Government Contractor … New Business Development Book Offers Information and Guidance

APPLE VALLEY, Calif., July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Author and businesswoman Lynda G. McNeal offers step-by-step instructions on starting and expanding a small business in her new book "Business Development: United States Government Contracting" (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com/).

McNeal provides in-depth understanding of Affirmative Action Compliance for business and explains how businesses that qualify under these guidelines can benefit. Government grant and proposal writing can be intimidating, but the format of "Business Development" helps to alleviate fears and encourage would-be contractors. The book is divided into sections that provide practical steps, from how to begin to what constitutes a specific business classification.

"Business Development" also includes information about how to prepare a complete business development package that can be used in all business matters, particularly, in response to request for proposals and solicitations.
