Veteran-Owned Business

Veteran-Owned Business

Converting your military experience to business ownership

While in the military, you developed a vision and set strategic goals, both essential skills for owning your own small business. While you may have all the discipline necessary for such a venture, having a professionally certified business consultant to assist along the way can be an additional asset.

Our expert consultants at the Florida SBDC at USF can assist you with:

  • becoming a certified, veteran-owned business
  • government contracting
  • growth acceleration services
  • import/export plans
  • marketing strategies
  • capital access for veterans

All of these services are available through no-cost, confidential consulting. In addition, many of our consultants have their own military background to draw on.
