Veterans Business Resource Center at SLCC Launches Outreach Program for Active Duty and Veteran Business Owners


The Utah Department of Veterans and Military Affairs (UDVMA) and the Utah Veterans Business Resource Center (VBRC), located at Salt Lake Community College’s business support hub called The Mill, are pleased to announce the launch of the “VBRC Outreach Program”. 


“The VBRC Outreach Program is designed to reach all veterans, active duty, reserve, National Guard and spouses (veterans and military) throughout the State of Utah” said Gary Harter, the Executive Director of the UDVMA. “We want everyone who is wearing or has worn a military uniform to be aware of the range of business support offered to them by the State of Utah.”


The mission of the VBRC is to assist veterans, active duty, reserve, National Guard and spouses across Utah with assistance in starting and building their businesses. VBRC support begins with clients’ business ideas and works with them in testing the idea with the target customer, creating the legal form of business, providing financial analysis and developing a business and marketing plan. The business support never stops. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the VBRC assisted existing and new clients with working through the EIDL and PPP loans offered through the SBA and funding opportunities offered by state and local programs.


“The mission of the VBRC is accomplished through one-on-one meetings and group educational programs such as the Veteran Everyday Entrepreneur Program,” said Rick Brown, the program manager. “There is no charge for these services because veteran and military members have already done so much for Utah through their military service."


The VRBC has transitioned to offering all of these services online via video conferencing, allowing veterans and military members in rural areas and across the state to easily access support.
