Today VeteranOwnedBusiness.com received a call from a Military Times writer looking for a business started by a recent veteran (where the start up cost was under $100K).

  • a recent veteran
  • started a business in the past year (or so)
  • and did so with less than $100K

please contact us ASAP and we will get you in contact with the aforementioned Military Times writer. It sounds like this may lead to national exposure if your business is selected.

Please call us ASAP at 877-VOB-List or email us at info@VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.

Thank you for your continued support… and, from one veteran to another, thank you for your service to our country!
