About
There are so many resources available to service disabled veteran owned small businesses that it’s no wonder that it gets confusing as to where to go first. Whether it’s SBA’s Veteran Business Outreach Centers (VBOC), a Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) or the SBA SCORE mentoring program, we’ve been there and done that. If it’s the VA Chapter 31 Self Employment program we’ve done that too and helped many others navigate the program. Or maybe you need assistance navigating the Federal Procurement process, we’ve worked with a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) (now called APEX Accelerators). And we’re graduates of the Veterans Institute for Procurement and the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities.
