Launched in 2009, OGC is a national initiative that helps small businesses of all kinds and at every level capitalize on the enormous growth opportunity provided through government contracts.

The company works with a number of federal agencies, including contracts with multiple offices of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which recently allowed Mark to hire six additional employees and increase hours for existing part-time consultants. Currently, 80% of the company’s revenues come from government contracts.
