VETS > BUSINESS
Getting veterans and and military spouses into business is what we’re all about.
When an established business owner is considering selling their business, a veteran buyer may well be the ideal purchaser candidate. Veterans, having spent considerable time in training and the service, possess many of the character traits and hard work ethic essential for business ownership and operational success.
- Grit
- Drive
- Self-starter
- Disciplined
- Organized
- Team-builder
Business Registration quick-link. Veteran Registration quick-link.
A safer way to be in business for yourself.
Many entrepreneurial-minded veterans are interested in purchasing an established business which comes with the advantages of greater ongoing success rates, existing customer base, cash flow, etc., and without the challenges and higher risk involved in a start-up.
Veteran Business Project (“VBP”) provides a means by which sellers can promote an existing, operational business directly to vetted, veteran buyers. VBP are specialists in matchmaking between both parties. As well, we provide Veterans a Business Coach, connections to specialized loan opportunities, local and national press, and much more – at absolutely no cost.
We’re committed to serving those who so proudly and bravely defend our great country.
