We Understand the Veteran Business Owner Mindset
For many veterans when they return from being a warrior, they decide they don’t want to integrate into a workforce. They have learned to be fiercely independent, yet dependent on working with a team to achieve an ultimate goal.
Many have developed superior leadership skills and want to create something for themselves that they can call their own to build, nurture, and manage and perhaps leave a legacy for families and/or loyal employees.
If you are already established in your business we can help you scale it higher and provide you legal services and business development strategies that will increase your bottom line.
If you want to start up a business we can help you launch your business on a solid foundation by providing legal advice and creating a business and marketing plan along with access to capital to help ensure your best chance at succeeding.
As a wartime disabled veteran, I know what it’s like to struggle to build a successful business. I am thoroughly familiar with the pitfalls, the pain, and the push that is necessary to meet the challenge, climb the wall, and top the mountain.
Feeling the rush of satisfaction when the mission is completed builds stamina for the next success.
The one thing that I can say with all candor and sincerity is that the time I spent in the warzone, experiences with comrades, and the training provided, prepared me for the journey that I embarked on after my time of service.
I am grateful for the experience and the benefits of serving my country. Because of it I was able to obtain a top-notch education, become a successful lawyer and entrepreneur, and served to dispense justice as a sitting Judge Pro Tem serving the court system and the people.
My goal is to help as many veterans as possible to live their dream of being their own boss and creating what they want.
Here's Some of The Assistance We Provide to Veteran Owned Businesses
Small Veteran Owned Business Capital Access Assistance
One of the greatest needs for many small businesses is access to capital to help them build their business.
Unfortunately, traditional banks usually will not lend to small businesses, especially startup, and more often than not will not lend to small businesses unless they have been in business for five or more years.
The criteria for approval of a loan from a traditional bank or lending institution is usually out of reach.
Because of this, the majority of small businesses are left to gut it out and hope for the best or seek alternative loan sources that will give them a chance and provide them with a capital infusion.
Veteran business loans are available from several sources, including veteran startup loans. Disabled veterans' business loans are also available.
Our office has researched and found several alternative lending sources that offer available and reasonable loans to small businesses. These sources consist of small traditional banks and commercial lenders, government-assisted financing sources, private lenders, joint venture capitalization, equipment lending sources, asset-based funding, and a host of others.
Most of these lenders offer loans through a simplified loan application process and can respond to a loan request within as little as 48 hours to 3 days, although some loan applications may take a bit longer.
Veteran Owned Business Certification
Veteran business owners are given special preference when it comes to doing business with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). There are billions of dollars spent by the VA each year and veterans who properly certify they are a veteran-owned business can have contracts set aside for them
With this certification, veterans are provided with an edge on any competitors when marketing their goods and services.
The federal government has an annual goal of expending 23% of its billions of dollars used to purchase goods and services with small businesses. As a veteran certified business, 3% of federal contracts are set aside just for veterans. This equals billions of dollars.
According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), 70% of consumers prefer to purchase goods and services from a veteran-owned business.
This opens up a tremendous opportunity that a veteran entrepreneur should take advantage of.
The certification also applies to any veteran that is Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Our office is familiar with the process of obtaining certification for a veteran or service-disabled veteran that desires to obtain the certification. Veterans who are part of our veteran business-building community are entitled to our assistance in becoming certified to do business with the federal government. There is no fee for this service.
Marketing Assistance
Marketing is critical to the success of any business. It is the lifeblood of business and without it is very difficult to succeed.
We help veteran business owners create a marketing plan that is simple, easy, and effective. It is based upon a system that is proven to produce results over and over again. The system is based on the concept of creating a message to an identified market and then utilizing appropriate media to communicate the message to the chosen market.
Message, Market, and Media and the foundation for successful marketing. When you join us we teach this system and show you how it should be applied step by step.
We also help develop target markets that match up with whatever goods or services your business might offer. One of the target areas should be federal government contracts. These contracts can be specifically set aside solely for small businesses and if the business is a service-disabled veteran-owned business some contracts may be specifically set aside for that business.
One source of learning about contracting opportunities with the federal government is the federal database of contract opportunities posted regularly.
