Electronic Capability Statement

In general, a Capabilities Statement tells potential clients who you are, what you do, and how you are different from your competitors. It serves as a snapshot of your company as well as a resume for your business. Capabilities statements are used to compare you with other vendors:

• Many government agencies require that a Capabilities Statement be submitted with bids.
• Similarly, prime contractors can require potential subcontractors to submit capabilities statements before doing business with them.

A Capabilities Statement informs your existing and potential customers about your business’ capabilities, including:

• Who you are.
• What you sell.
• What core competencies you bring to the table. These should include specific information about:
  • Your products and services.
  • Your qualifications, credentials, and differentiators.
  • Your corporate data.

There are three standard types of Capabilities Statements:

• A one page fold-over used to open doors and make introductions.
• A brochure that could be a part of a Request For Proposal response.
• A detailed presentation used for capabilities briefings.

When you add information about awards, certifications, and clients, the Capabilities Statement can:

• Create a sense of trust.
• Show maturity of your business.
