The Veterans Corporation to present ChangeCorp for Veteran Entrepreneurs
The Change Corp Project for Veteran Entrepreneurs
(www.changecorp.us)
The Change Corp Project is an attempt to “change” and improve the way Veteran entrepreneurs get their information about ‘what’s next’ for their small business. The Change Corp Project is a website that allows contributors to ask good questions and get good answers. It also will allow Veteran small business practitioners to review and rate the institutions and individuals which they encounter during their search for information during their small business journey.
During the initial phase of the Project, constructive criticism is sought from all contributors on the functionality of the website; ease of use; suggestions for tagging and categorizing questions and answers; and other ideas for commercialization of the Beta site which would benefit Veteran entrepreneurs and the non-profit sponsors of the Project. The goal of the Project is be to become an open source tool controlled by Veterans for Veterans. The Sponsors also hope this information portal will become a valuable tool for non-profit Veteran service providers and their communities and will continuously improve real time small business resources and specific advice for all entrepreneurs.

A good business venture always relays on knowing what will be the next best thing - the new trend and the needs of majority. There's always a need to be updated and must be wise and manage finances carefully. It's a good thing that there are organizations such as Change Corp and as well as the SBA that looks after small business owners and attend to their needs. In this time of economic downturn it's important to plan such transactions wisely.
