SBA Connecticut Announces Veteran Business Expo November 2nd
Workshops will be facilitated by subject matter experts covering Franchising, How to Get Veteran Certified, Business Plan Basics, Business Financing, VR&E Self-Employment, and How to utilize the SBA’s Veteran Business Outreach Center.
The inaugural expo will take place during National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW) October 31-November 4, in celebration of the strength and resilience of the veteran and military small business community as they continue to march beyond the events of the pandemic and use what they’ve learned over the past few years to propel their businesses forward.
“We’re honored to recognize the achievements of the sixteen thousand Veteran owned small businesses across Connecticut and to celebrate the strength and resiliency of the veteran business community this National Veterans Small Business Week,” said Mike Vlacich, SBA New England Regional Administrator. “Our veterans don’t have to enter the mission of entrepreneurship alone; they have served us and now it is our turn to support them. Through the SBA, the military community has a partner to support them at all stages of small business ownership.”
“Time, effort, and grit – combined with community support and SBA resources – propel members of the military community to launch and maintain profitable businesses. The SBA is here to help members of the military community evaluate that path, take their first steps, and navigate any questions or obstacles that may follow’, stated Catherine Marx, District Director. ‘We are excited to lead the Veteran Business Expo next Wednesday, November 2nd – veteran entrepreneurs this is a call to SBA entrepreneurial duty!”
