The Veterans Entrepreneurship Task Force (VET –Force) steps up for New Markets Tax Credits for Veteran Owned Small Businesses. Ask a Veteran and you’ll get help!

The Help Desk asked VET – Force, Chaired by Rick Weidman of Vietnam Veterans of America, to acknowledge an ongoing problem that Veterans  (especially Service Disabled Veterans) have trouble accessing capital for small business ventures. Their answer was swift and forceful. By unanimous consent the VET – Force group, consisting of over a dozen Veteran Service Organizations (including the Association for Service Disabled Veterans, the National Association of Black Veterans, and many other prominent Veteran organizations) passed a resolution supporting more New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) for Small Business, and an accompanying directive to the Small Business Administrator to make the SBA Patriot Loan Program eligible for NMTC. Congress, we hope you’re listening!
