Doing Business With Veteran Affairs & DoD: Saluting Veteran-Owned Businesses
According to the SBA and the U.S. Census Bureau of Surveys of Small Business Owners (reports in December 2015 and February 2016), 2.5 million businesses in the U.S. are majority-owned by veterans. These veteran business owners employ over 5 million employees with payroll close to $200 billion. Over 60% of all federal spending comes from the VA and DOD.
As a veteran-owned business, do you have the information & resources to go after government contracts? The Government Contractors Association (GCA) is committed to helping veteran business owners & all business owners to get their fair share of government contracts through education and events like this. At our November Association meeting, Director of Veteran Contracting, Mrs. Prudence Howard, will educate all on VA contracting opportunities. If you are a veteran having difficulty with getting to your veteran benefits, then you want to also connect with GCA member & business owner, Mike Sauls of Veteran Diversified, LLC. He will help present information on how his veteran-owned business aids other veterans in various services. GCA's certification specialist, Myra Cisse, will discuss requirements on how to get your business VOSB certified.
