Free Veterans Small Business Workshop in Utica, Nov. 9: Certifications, Capital and Planning Help

Veteran business owners and would-be owners can meet the SBA, the SBDC and the APEX contracting folks in one 90-minute stop, two days before Veterans Day.
Veterans who own or want to start a business can attend a free resource workshop on Monday, Nov. 9, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at 326 Broad St. in Utica. Reserve a spot by emailing Stephen Barr at the SBA, [email protected], per the Utica Phoenix.
The U.S. Small Business Administration's Syracuse District Office is running it with the Mohawk Valley Small Business Development Center and the Empire APEX Accelerator, which helps businesses chase government contracts.
What's covered
- Federal and New York State business certifications
- Getting access to loans and other capital
- Business planning and one-on-one technical help
Showing up doesn't earn you a certification, loan or contract by itself; it's a starting point for those applications.
