How to Do Business with the Government

If you want to do business with the government, the first thing to do is to register with the Central Contractor Registration or CCR. All firms wanting to do business with the government are required to register before the contract or task order can be awarded.

Who must register to do business with the government?

Any businesses wanting to do business with the government must register with the Central Contractor Registration or CCR.

What are the advantages of registering with the Central Contractor Registration or CCR?

Many government agencies will browse through the CCR database of more than 195,000 small, disadvantaged, HUB, Vet, D-Vet, 8(a), and women owned businesses that have gone through the registration and screening process with agencies such as GSA already. It is easier for them to hire already approved contractors. There is a lot of paperwork involved in registering with the CCR.

Once you register with the CCR, your information will be kept in the database for all government agencies to view. You would not have to re-enter all your information or re-register your business with the CCR next time you want to do business with the government.
