SBA’s Boots to Business Reboot is a national program designed to introduce veterans and their spouses to the basics of small business ownership, including techniques for evaluating the feasibility of their business concepts, the components of a business plan, an introduction to private and public resources, and opportunity recognition.
In addition, participants are introduced to SBA resources available for start-up capital, technical assistance, and contracting opportunities.
This program is also recommended for those who wish to grow an existing veteran-owned small business.
Register online at www.boots2business.org/rebootapply (select Stafford, VA location) or by calling 804-253-8906. Registration is preferred but not required. Walk-ins will be accepted, as space allows.
The one-day introduction to entrepreneurship course on March 23 is the first step in the two-step Boots to Business Reboot training program. Upon completing the introduction, participants can apply for acceptance to the eight-week online Foundations of Entrepreneurship course, led by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University.
