SBA Workshop: Resources for Veterans

Event description

Live Event: In celebration of SBA’s 2025 National Veteran Small Business Week, this workshop addresses the role of the SBA Office of Veterans Business Development in maximizing the availability, applicability, and usability of small business programs for Veterans, Service-Disabled Veterans, Reserve Component Members, and their dependents or survivors. OVBD is SBA’s liaison with the military veteran’s business community; provides policy analysis and reporting; and is as an Ombudsman for veteran entrepreneurs.

This workshop will present to you the programs and resources the SBA North Florida District has available for US military veterans. In addition, this event is our way to thank veterans for your service and sacrifice.
