Should help some of the entrepreneurs out there. When I ran a startup business consulting division at my previous company, the 2nd most common question I used to get from clients was about how they could get Federal contracts and how they should bid on them. It is one hot topic, since we know that the Feds pay on time, though it does take them forever. In case you wonder, #1 question was "how do I get to VCs" to which my answer to 99% of them used to be - go buy a lottery ticket, you have better chances there. Good article.

Right now there are many small veteran owned businesses that are having a tough time keeping afloat. Any programs that help our veterans maintain and grow their respective businesses is a good thing for our economy and, more importantly, for America. Check out some of the current programs online that help veteran owned businesses including many that are not managed (probably a good thing) by any government agency. VeteranOwnedBusiness.com http://www.VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is a perfect example. It's a great resource for agencies, consumers other businesses and fellow veterans to search for and conduct business directly with businesses owned by United States military veterans.
