New York State provides resources and programs to support veteran-owned businesses. The New York State Division of Veterans' Services (DVS) provides information and assistance to veteran business owners, connecting veterans with resources, benefits, and programs available in the state. The New York Small Business Development Center (SBDC) offers business counseling, training, and resources for veteran entrepreneurs, providing guidance on business planning, marketing strategies, financial management, access to capital, and government contracting opportunities. The New York State Procurement Assistance Center (PTAC) provides assistance to veteran-owned businesses in navigating the government procurement process, offering guidance on contracting opportunities, certifications, regulations, and proposal preparation. New York State's Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) certification program includes veteran-owned businesses, providing enhanced opportunities for government contracts and procurement. The state offers various financing programs to support veteran-owned businesses, including loans, grants, and assistance in accessing capital for business development and expansion. The New York Business Development Corporation and local financial institutions may provide such programs.
To access the specific resources and benefits available for veteran business owners in New York, I recommend visiting the official websites of the New York State Division of Veterans' Services (DVS) at https://veterans.ny.gov/, the New York Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at https://www.nyssbdc.org/, and the New York State Procurement Assistance Center (PTAC) at https://www.nysptac.org/. These websites should provide information on programs, certifications, financing options, counseling services, and other resources available for veteran entrepreneurs.
Additionally, you may consider reaching out to local veteran organizations, chambers of commerce, or the local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in New York for further assistance and guidance tailored to veteran business owners in the state.
