The Greater Omaha Chamber’s REACH Program and the City of Omaha’s Human Rights and Relations Department invite small construction companies, landscapers, cleaning businesses, and service-based contractors to a focused seminar designed to help business owners grow with confidence.

This exclusive panel discussion will break down what it takes to become bondable, increase bonding capacity, and build the kind of financial foundation that opens doors to larger contracts. Attendees will hear directly from experts in bonding, credit remediation, construction accounting, banking, CDFI lending, and small business transportation resources.

Panelists will cover how bonding applies to contracts, how personal credit can impact business opportunities, what accounting methods help present a healthier financial picture, and why positive cash flow and strong financial management matter. The USDOT West Central Small Business Transportation Resource Center will also share resources that help businesses build capacity and prepare for bonding.

Panel Topics:

• A bonding Agency will explain the criteria for obtaining a bond and how bonding applies to contracts

• A Credit Remediation Expert will discuss how personal credit history impacts a business’s ability to obtain a bond.

• A CPA specializing in construction will explain accounting methods that help present a healthy financial picture to bonding agents.

• A Bank and CDFI representative will discuss how positive cash flow and strong financial management help demonstrate that a company is bondable.

• The USDOT West Central Small Business Transportation Resource Center will introduce a program that helps businesses build the capacity needed to secure a bond.

After the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with panelists and resource providers for personalized guidance and answers to specific business questions.
