Small Business Bonding Readiness Assistance Program
Free bonding readiness and construction contract training for New Jersey small businesses.
About this program
The Small Business Bonding Readiness Assistance Program provides free training, workshops, and strategic counseling to help New Jersey small businesses qualify for surety bonding and compete for public contracts, with construction-specific topics including contract law, construction management, estimating, bonding, insurance, and credit. Deadline notes: Cohort deadlines vary; SHCCNJ has listed active bilingual online cohorts. Notes: Program itself is small-business focused; included here because SHCCNJ delivery and bilingual access create a clear minority-business overlay for contractor readiness.
Eligibility
New Jersey small businesses seeking surety bonding capacity to bid on state or federal contracts, including contractors and construction-related firms.
Requirements
- Apply for the cohort and provide business information, bonding needs, public contracting goals, and documents requested for advisory and training participation.
