Our Mission: The Nevada Veterans Business Outreach Center (NVVBOC) distinguishes itself by providing interactive learning opportunities, access to resources, and a strong network within a collaborative business ecosystem to meet the needs of veteran-owned businesses. Whether you’re launching a startup, seeking expansion, or navigating challenges, we are here to provide support. Through training programs, one-on-one business advising, expert referrals, and veteran focused outreach activities, NVVBOC is the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) primary resource for veteran entrepreneurship. NVVBOC services are funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the SBA in order to empower transitioning veterans, disabled veterans, National Guard, active and reserve component members and their spouses to grow the U.S. economy and its employment base, while adding value to the communities in which they live and serve as small business owners.
We believe in the strength of collaboration and community to create awareness for every veteran business owner to empower them to succeed.
