The BusinessResourceCenter being developed will connect veterans to a cache of information to help them either start their own small business, start a franchise opportunity, or just help existing small business owners to grow and succeed.
Mentoring, teaming, and networking can be accessed through the Business Owners Forum, which connects veterans together and encourages business partnerships.
If you are a veteran owned business, a veteran, or just someone who supports the veterans and you would like to support our efforts, become a part of the movement by contacting us here.
