FLINT, MI (WTVB) – A nonprofit aimed at helping Michigan veterans start or expand their own businesses is celebrating a record-setting year. Matt Sherwood is Executive Director of Vet Biz Central, an agency which helps veterans put together and refine business plans and ideas. He says while starting any business can be risky, veterans have a skill set that lends itself well to entrepreneurial ventures.
Right now, Michigan has about 65,000 veteran-owned businesses, or nearly nine percent of all small businesses in the state. VetBizCentral, which is housed within Goodwill Industries of Mid-Michigan in Flint, recently expanded its services to also serve veterans in Ohio and Indiana.
