Vetrepreneur – Free Veteran Owned Business (VOB) Directory
|Vetrepreneur – Veteran Owned Business (VOB) Tip
~ Shop at or Advertise a Veteran Owned Business
I’m always looking for more free ways to promote small businesses, and by free, I include the requirement to be non-time consuming. If it takes you eight hours to get something, it’s not free.
If you are a Veteran and own a business (a Vetrepreneur), you can list your business in the Veteran Owned Business Directory in less than ten minutes.
Veteran-Owned Business Directory History
The VOB directory was established by the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA). Recently there has been emphasis by news media to assist and recognize Veterans beyond yellow ribbons and verbal praise. Much of the recent publicity has been on hiring Veterans and their military spouses, but choosing to shop with Veterans is another venue of support. The VOB Directory helps Veteran businesses gain exposure, and also, encourages the public to Buy Veteran.
