The Case for Using Veteran-Owned Businesses

Corporate America has long been the beneficiary of the freedoms and business practices fought for, secured and preserved by our American fighting men and women.  Approximately 3 million of those brave patriots now fuel our economy as vetrepreneurs® in businesses they own. The ones still in uniform represent tomorrow's vetrepreneurs®.  But while the veteran and disabled-veteran business movement may have been borne out of this duty to give back to those who protected the freedoms we all enjoy, it continues and flourishes because military training provides corporate America with competent and efficient suppliers. Our staff will help you establish or grow your veteran supplier diversity program with sound business cases. The business case for using veteran business suppliers is encapsulated in The Buy Veteran Advantage, which includes three main pillars:

1. The "stuff" that makes them veterans just happens to be the same "stuff" that makes them great business owners.

2. Veterans are your customers: They should also be your suppliers.

3. Minority over-representation: Nearly 45% of transitioning military are minorities.
