Attention: Veterans, are you ready to launch your next mission in business? Join us in person for Deploying Your Business, a full-day entrepreneurship learning created for veterans, service members, and military spouses who are exploring business ownership, preparing to launch, or looking to grow a business. Whether you have a business idea, are considering a franchise, want to purchase an existing business, or need guidance on financing and government contracting, this event will connect you with the knowledge, tools, and local resource partners to take your next step with confidence.

You will hear from experienced business advisers, lenders, veteran-focused organizations, and local professionals who understand the transition from military service to business ownership.

Learn how to evaluate an opportunity, choose the right ownership path, become lender-ready, explore veteran small-business certification, understand business credit and alternate financing, and build a trusted network of advisers and community partners.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, make connections, and leave with a practical plan for moving your business idea forward. This event is for veterans, service members, and military spouses. Seating is limited, and registration is required.
