Protect Your Business With Room Alert By Using SBA & GSA Resources
Are you a small business working hard to survive in today’s fast-paced and competitive market? If so, you most likely could benefit greatly from applying for funds and resources that are available to you. Even with great products, great ideas and a great team, small businesses can still have a tough time succeeding for many reasons. Typically smaller organizations are working with less money and resources, so costs can become an issue. Not only that, but with fewer resources to spare, costly unexpected downtime is even more of a deadly threat than it already is to massive organizations that have more available to them.
Small Business Administration Funding
If you are a small business, chances are you are always keeping an eye out for programs, grants and other forms of financial assistance that can help your business thrive. Luckily, there are many resources out there that aim to provide financial support to small businesses. One major resource that can be extremely helpful for smaller businesses comes from the Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA is a phenomenal government agency that supports small American businesses by offering loans, grants and other funding programs to help them grow and succeed. They do this by connecting entrepreneurs with lenders and funding to help them plan, start and grow their business.
The Small Business Administration specifically provides low-interest loans within their Disaster Assistance Program. This program was designed out of a need to help businesses recover from uninsured or underinsured disasters. Essentially, the SBA offers funds to go towards tools and services that encourage Business Resilience, Business Continuity, Risk Management, Preparedness and overall success. Also within their Disaster Assistance Program, the SBA offers additional funding towards things like mitigation projects which serve to proactively prepare for and prevent future damage. Funding from the SBA that serves to help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies. The only catch is, utilizing funding from organizations such as these of course comes with some rules and regulations for what qualifying purchases these funds can be put towards.
For example, in order to qualify for the assistance above, the funding must be put towards products and services that are TAA compliant. Being TAA compliant means meeting the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979. Finding tools and services that are TAA compliant can be surprisingly tricky criteria to meet because there are so many products and services out there, many of which are not made in the USA and therefore are not TAA compliant. Luckily, all of our Room Alert monitors, sensors, accessories and services are made in the USA and therefore fully TAA compliant and available for government contracts and GSA schedules.
Another criteria for receiving the above funding is the products and services must qualify as disaster recovery and preparedness resources, which Room Alert does. Furthermore, Room Alert also qualifies as a mitigation project because it is a strategic risk response wherein a project team takes active steps to reduce the probability or impact of a negative risk to a project.
General Services Administration Resources
Government buyers can utilize purchasing resources provided by the General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA is another government agency intended to streamline the purchasing process for other government entities by providing a resource of approved products at approved prices for government use. Like the SBA funding options, products purchased through GSA must also be TAA compliant, so GSA customers can purchase Room Alert products with confidence.
