Federal government contracts are both the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of small businesses and a quagmire of red tape. One misstep can result in cancelled contracts, suspension and debarment from government contracting, hefty fines--even jail time.

If your small business contracts with the government, you cannot afford not to know the rules.  Written by government contracts attorney Steven Koprince, The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts explains the key rules you must follow to keep in Uncle Sam's good graces and avoid harsh penalties.
