Roy host keynote for BOOTS2BUSINESS (B2B) Mayport, Naval Station FL

Boots to Business (B2B) is an entrepreneurial education and training program offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a training track within the Department of Defense’s revised Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The curriculum provides valuable assistance to transitioning Service members exploring business ownership or other self employment opportunities by leading them through the key steps for evaluating business concepts and providing the foundational knowledge required to develop a business plan. In addition, participants are introduced to SBA resources available to help access start up capital and additional technical assistance. Boots to Business is delivered in partnership with SBA Resource Partners [Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOCs), Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women’s Business Centers (WBCs), and SCORE] and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University. It is available free of charge at participating installations to Service members and their spouses transitioning or retiring from the U.S. military.
