The Veterans Business Outreach Center: Is There One In Your State?

Veterans who are lawyers seeking to open a practice, or who are non-lawyers seeking to open a business, may be interested in a program such as The Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC).
While VBOC is based in California, there may be a comparable organization in your state; and if there isn't, organizing one may be a good way to get started in business and demonstrate to investors your ability to get'r'done!
