3,500 Veteran Owned Businesses Strong and Growing

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Directory WebsiteWe are very proud to state that VeteranOwnedBusiness.com has now surpassed 3,500 business profiles.  Since going live on Veteran’s Day 2008, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com has now added and approved over 3,500 businesses owned by veterans, active duty military, reservists and service disabled veterans of the United States Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, National Guard and Coast Guard.

True from the very first day we launched VeteranOwnedBusiness.com… there is still absolutely no cost to list a business and there is absolutely no cost to search for a business!  We have received numerous phone calls (some days more than 100 calls in a day) and thousands of emails of praise from proud Americans from all over the world Veteran Owned Business Directory Logothanking us and letting us know they’ve used VeteranOwnedBusiness.com to find a business.  We’ve also received a ton of calls and emails from businesses listed letting us know how much they appreciate their membership and how their free listing has helped them bring in business–and for many–help keep their doors open during these very trying economic times.

Other notable achievements:

  • Nearly 6 million (6,000,000) pages viewed since going live on Veteran’s Day 2008
  • Over half a million (500,000) visitors since going live
  • Have nearly 200 profiles of non profits who directly help veterans, active duty military and their respective families

Our entire staff continues to work hard (practically around the clock) to further the development of VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.  We have many new features and functionalities planned for release in 2010.  One of our biggest goals is to continue to grow our veteran owned business directory by reaching our goal of 5,000 businesses profiled by the end of 2010.  We know we have miles to go as far as having some of the development work done; however, our goal all along has been to create a comprehensive, user friendly place for procurement people, prime contractors, fellow veteran owned businesses and of course the every day consumer to go to easily find and conduct business with businesses owned by our country’s military heroes!  Because this number has grown so rapidly, we have actually had to spend more time on the sign up area than other areas.  Please be patient as we continue to work toward an even more comprehensive directory.

Please be sure to help us spread the word about VeteranOwnedBusiness.com by sharing it with everyone you know. You can simply email the link or you can visit our badge page and download a banner or badge for use on your site.

Thank You!
