Veteran Owned Business Expansion - Thrive Program Workshop with Grant
Veteran Owned Business Expansion is a program developed by the Orange County Inland Empire Small Business Development Center 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 new revenue streams, entering new market segments / expanding customer base, expanding the team, acquiring new technology / equipment, adding strategic partners, new /additional locations, and mergers and acquisitions. Through this program, Veteran business owners will work on putting together their path towards 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 Thrive grant of $2,500.
