The Cypress Business, Retention, Attraction, Creation, and Expansion (BRACE) Program will be hosting a special “SBA Business Matchmaker Event” on Thursday, June 24, 2010, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Cypress Community Center located at 5700 Orange Avenue. This event is a unique opportunity where small businesses and buyers of goods and services can meet and connect.
The City of Cypress and Small Business Administration (SBA) Officials anticipate between 75 & 100 buyers, representing large businesses and government agencies interested in supporting small businesses by contracting with them for purchases of goods and services.
Each registered small business will be provided space to promote their business and will have appointments set up for them to meet buyers interested in their products or services. Those small businesses who register by North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Codes will be given first priority for appointments.
If you own and operate a small business and don’t know what your NAICS Code is, please contact Jill C. Andrews, Lead Business Development Specialist at the SBA at (714) 560-7466, or by visiting the City’s website at http://www.ci.cypress.ca.us/economic_dvlpt/matchmaker/matchmaker_info.htm.
There will be opportunities provided to network throughout the event, in addition to participating in several presentations and training programs offered for small and large businesses. Register early, display space is limited to 60 small businesses. Registrations are due by June 21, 2010.
