If you want your business to stand out from the crowd and improve your chance of securing contracts, then attending a capability statement workshop is a must for you. Hosted by The Center for Emerging Business, these interactive workshops aim to help businesses develop and prepare effective capability statements.
- What is a capability statement?
A capability statement outlines capabilities and skills of your business. It is a tool that allows procurement teams assess its expertise, achievements and potential to deliver goods and services.

A capability statement is essential for participating and securing tendering opportunities in government and private sector projects, including sub-contractor work. Ultimately, an impressive capability statement can help your business thrive.

This workshop will show businesses how to use a capability statement to market their product or service and how it can be used to upload onto online databases and used to support applications for finance to expand your business.

About National Small Business Week

For more than 50 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

As part of National Small Business Week, the Greater Fayetteville Chamber and The Center for Emerging Business is taking the opportunity to celebrate entrepreneurism by providing events all week long to advance the growth of these valuable businesses. Join us as we network, learn and celebrate the spirit of the entrepreneur ~ those who are working to grow small businesses, create 21st century jobs, drive innovation, and increase America’s global competitiveness.

Each month, a selection committee for the Greater Fayetteville Chamber will choose a Small Business of the Month. Nominations can be submitted online at <SMALL BUSINESS OF THE MONTH> by the 23rd of each month to be considered for the following month. All non-selected nominations will rollover from one month to the next. Winners will be announced on the 1st of each month.
