When a company wants to start working with any level of government contractor or large business you need a quick and easy way to introduce yourself. Your business card does not tell the purchasing agent much about your business, the purchasing agent does not have time to go to your web site, and any conversation you have with them is usually too short for a full description of your product or service. Finally this should all be on a one page document that is organized into logical sections and easily read.
