Introduction to Veteran Business Project This is the first in a series of Veteran Business Project orientation videos. This one explains the origins of VBP and our unique “vHarmony” business match-making model, whereby we match veterans/military spouses seeking to become small business owners with existing, viable businesses looking to sell. With many baby boomers seeking to sell and retire, it is now a buyers’ market.
