Join a local community of veteran-owned businesses that network and share resources.

Quarterly emails arrive in your inbox with veteran-owned business resources, local events, and invites to community meet-ups.

We’re here to help you succeed

VetBiz is a free Virginia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program developed by the Roanoke Regional SBDC.

We have two primary goals:

(1) to advocate for and support veteran business ownership and

(2) provide access to resources and advice needed to start + run a successful business.

With resources, connections, and a strong network forged on the web and in-person meet-ups, existing and aspiring veteran small business owners are made stronger and have more opportunities than ever before.

The Virginia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network recognizes a veteran owned business each year that demonstrates strong business success, leads veteran service opportunities, and continuously gives back and serves their community.
