MacDill AFB-In-Person-2026-02-18-Boots to Business

Event description

Boots to Business (B2B) is an entrepreneurial education and training program powered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as part of the DODs Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) is a resource partner of the SBA and provides the B2B program for military installations in Florida.

The two-day workshop provides an overview of entrepreneurship and applicable business ownership fundamentals. Active-Duty Service members (including National Guard and Reserve), Veterans of all eras, and spouses are eligible to participate.

During B2B, participants are introduced to the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to launch a business, including steps for developing business concepts, how to develop a business plan, and information on SBA resources available to help. This program is facilitated by subject matter experts from the SBA and VBOC and their network of skilled business advisors.

Participants who complete an in-person or online B2B course can elect to further their study through one of many B2B online courses, offered at no cost to Service members, Veterans, and military spouses.
