Thrive Program Workshop with grant opportunity!

Veteran-Owned Business Expansion is a program created to assist veteran small business owners in identifying when they are ready to expand and drive their business to the next level. Various approaches to growth will be identified and analyzed, including identifying new revenue streams; entering new market segments; expanding the customer base; growing the team; acquiring new technology/equipment; adding strategic partners; opening new or additional locations; and mergers and acquisitions.

Through this program, veteran business owners will work on putting together their path toward controlled-risk growth as they evaluate and develop their metrics, benchmarks, teams, financials, and strategies to reach the next level of growth. At the completion of the program, eligible participants may apply for a County of Riverside grant of $2,500.
