A huge thank you to all who have served our country! Your efforts have ensured the rights we hold dear.
A series of federally-funded programs have been implemented to recognize your service and provide transition support for veterans seeking to launch a business. Incentives are also available to current business owners who have served. Another huge highlight is taht many of these programs are available to dependents of current and fomer service members. A quick summary of programs is below. We encourage veterans to bookmark the departmental links to keep abreast of funding or tax incentive announcements.
Office of Veterans Business Development:
The Office of Veterans Business Development's mission is to maximize the availability, applicability and usability of all administration small business programs for Veterans, Service-Disabled Veterans, Reserve Component Members, and their Dependents or Survivors
VetBiz.gov:
The principal purposes of this site are to provide information about the VIP verification process; to assist Veteran business owners in registering their business in the Secretary's Database of Veteran-owned small businesses and to enable VA contracting officers to easily identify service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) and VOSBs eligible for procurement opportunities. This site is maintained by the Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE), a program office within the Department's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).
Department of Veterans Affairs:
In addition to administering health benefits and educational benefits, the VA's vocational training support can provide you access to key training, licensing, or certifications you may need for your business.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
