Our mission is to empower veterans for post-military success by facilitating their transition to civilian life through a comprehensive business ownership program. We equip veterans with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive as entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the tools to achieve lasting success.
Transitioning from military to civilian life is challenging, and becoming a successful veteran entrepreneur can be even harder. At Vets & Valor, we believe every veteran deserves a chance to succeed. We train veterans to become business owners and guide them through the entire transition process to ensure fulfilling post-military careers.
We partner with investors and operators to create successful, veteran-led businesses. Our approach includes acquiring businesses for veterans, offering training and transition support, and using an operate-to-own structure.
We offer an intense 4-month "Service member to CEO" training program to prepare veterans for business ownership. We also assist with disability claims, VA home loans, and community integration.
As veterans complete training, we acquire companies suited to their strengths. The veteran manages daily operations with support from the Vets & Valor team.
As our portfolio companies make profits, everyone wins. Our unique 10-year program offers veterans a path to business ownership, fostering long-term success and community impact.
Join us in empowering veterans and supporting community-based businesses. At Vets & Valor, we acquire long-standing, reputable businesses with strong, consistent cash flow. Contact us to learn about specific investment opportunities and how you can make a meaningful impact.
