TNM offers a program that will help small to mid-size businesses currently doing federal government contracting to connect to a network of private and public sector organizations to increase government contracting opportunities. We created the S.M.A.R.T technique to offer new ways of networking, finding mentors, and access to resources or training to help you scale your business.
