The SBA St. Louis District Office and VetBiz are hosting an in-person event in honor of 10 Years of Celebrating America’s #VetBiz and #MilSpouse Business Owners.

SBA empowers service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses with entrepreneurial trainings and resources. SBA offers specialized training programs for women veterans, service-disabled veterans, and veterans interested in federal procurement. Entrepreneurs across the nation can access these programs in-person or virtually at every stage of small business ownership.

VetBiz is the Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) in St. Louis which covers Missouri and Kansas. Their skilled counselors assist veterans and their spouses with all stages in the life of a business.

Please note: Eventbrite appears to be limiting our events to 25 registrants. If you get a message that the event is full, please email Nicki Massie at [email protected] or Gary Alexander at [email protected] and we’ll add you to the registration list.

SBA St. Louis District Office staff will cover SBA services available to individuals, particularly veterans and their spouses. These services help small businesses start, grow, expand, and recover. They include counseling and technical assistance, contracting assistance, SBA guaranteed loans, and SBA disaster assistance programs.

VetBiz staff will cover VBOC services, programs, and success stories.

While this seminar is geared toward veterans and their spouses, all interested parties are welcome.
