This program is designed to help Veterans through all stages of their business plan. Whether they have an idea, a business in the early stages, or an established business looking to grow, everyone will benefit from this training course. 

Throughout the course, participants will develop their entrepreneurial knowledge and interact with subject matter experts to identify, overcome, and mitigate trouble spots, leading to increased confidence and potential for success.

The program’s purpose is to take an early-stage business or business plan through a structured and practical process. It is not designed to teach participants in-depth theories like those taught in an undergraduate or graduate level entrepreneurship program.
