Veteran Entrepreneurship One-Day Workshop: Nov. 6th, 7th, or 8th

Are you a veteran with dreams of starting your own business? This workshop is designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to turn your entrepreneurial vision into reality. Whether you’re just starting to explore business ownership or ready to take the next step, this workshop offers guidance tailored to veterans. Boots to Business, an SBA program, provides an overview of entrepreneurship and business fundamentals for veterans, service members, and spouses. Reboot offers the same training to veterans of all eras and those who have already transitioned out of service.

During the workshop, you’ll be guided through the fundamental aspects of starting a business, including how to create a business plan, assess market opportunities, and understand the legal and financial structures of a successful enterprise. We’ll also discuss various funding options available specifically for veterans, including grants, loans, and other veteran-focused programs.
