Supporting Military and Veteran Entrepreneurs: The Goals of MVACTS

VETSACTS or MVACTS is more than just a marketplace; it's a movement of military and veterans coming together to support one another and make a positive impact in the world.

When it comes to supporting military and veteran entrepreneurs, MVACTS (Military and Veterans Arts, Crafts, Trades, and Services) is on a mission to empower and connect military and veterans with the resources and support they need to start and grow their businesses in the field of arts, crafts, trades, and services. Here are some of the significant future goals that MVACTS has set for itself to achieve this mission: 

MVACTS Network

One of the critical future goals of MVACTS is to provide a national support network centered around the military and veteran cottage industry. This network connects military and veteran entrepreneurs with the resources and support they need to start and grow their businesses. It also helps connect buyers with military and veteran businesses, making it easy to find and support them. 

MVACTS Centers

Another future goal of MVACTS is to facilitate local centers and popup events to help military and veterans make products, learn to make products, and run and market their small businesses. These centers provide training, resources, and support to military and veterans and help to create a sense of community and collaboration among military and veterans.

MVACTS Venues

MVACTS' future goal is to create online selling venues, and an e-commerce store, facilitating wholesaling and promoting local market venues to sell wares and services. Connecting sellers and buyers is one of the main goals of MVACTS, allowing military and veterans to connect with customers and expand their market share.

MVACTS Handup

Another future goal of MVACTS is to promote donations of tools, supplies, and other resources to military and veterans who are less fortunate. This "hand-up" approach provides the resources and support to help these entrepreneurs start their business ventures.

MVACTS Local

MVACTS also aims to facilitate local support structures in cities and bases across the country. This includes working with local organizations and businesses to create opportunities for military and veterans to connect, collaborate, and grow their businesses.

Military & Veteran Businesses

Finally, the future goal of MVACTS is to facilitate connections between military and veteran businesses to help promote and expand their market share. This includes creating opportunities for military and veterans to network, collaborate, and share resources and knowledge. By working together, military and veteran businesses can increase their visibility, reach new customers, and grow their businesses. 

In conclusion, MVACTS' goals are a powerful initiative that aims to empower military and veterans by providing them with the resources, training, and support they need to start and grow their businesses in the arts, crafts, trades, and services. Its mission is to connect, support, and market military and veteran entrepreneurs. It provides a network for the cottage industry of veterans, military, and their family members, connecting sellers to buyers. 

Through its network, centers, venues, hand-up, and local support, MVACTS' goals are working to create opportunities for military and veterans to connect, collaborate, and grow their businesses, thus helping them overcome the challenges of transitioning to civilian life and finding purpose, hope, and joy through entrepreneurship.
