About

The Veterans Business Fund (VBF) is a not-for-profit organization. It was established in response to the high unemployment rate among veterans, many of whom are well qualified through their military experience to become successful small business owners but lack sufficient equity capital to qualify for a small business loan.

VBF assists veterans by providing them with the supplemental capital required to satisfy the equity requirements for a small business loan. VBF provides capital to veterans in the form of a low-interest loan with very favorable terms.  All principal and interest paid to the fund are made available to future veteran entrepreneurs requiring assistance in meeting the equity requirements for a small business loan.

VBF was created with the support of Syracuse University’s Burton Blatt Institute, the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program, SunTrust, Business Lenders and others. For more information, please visit http://www.veteransbusinessfund.org.
