Event description
Turning Frustration Into Financial Leverage
Veterans starting and running small businesses encounter obstacles constantly — rising housing costs, unclear retirement planning techniques, and financial rules that feel stacked against you. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you work, the system keeps moving the goalposts.
As veterans, we bring dogged determination, discipline, and an unmatched work ethic. But we need to maximize our advantages, make informed decisions in the moment, and plan deliberately for the long term.
That’s what the LA VBOC Quarterly PFT is about.
Quarterly PFT is a veteran-focused financial education event designed to help you turn frustration into strategy by using the tools already available to veterans — legally and intentionally.
We are bringing together subject-matter specialists, each tackling a different piece of the financial puzzle:
- VA Home Loan Expert – how homeownership, collateral, and veteran benefits really work
- Retirement Account Advisor – how to stop thinking “I’ll never retire” and use your small business to build long-term equity
- Small Business Loan Officer / Underwriter – how lenders actually evaluate risk, revenue, and readiness
Each expert delivers a focused 30-minute briefing, followed by an open, cross-topic Q&A where you can connect the dots and ask real questions — no rank, no shame, no sales pitch.
The world isn’t stacked against you — but it is complicated.
Your discipline and determination already got you this far.
Now it’s time to make the system work for you.
