Building the veteran-owned economy
Government veteran procurement policies
We believe veteran-owned businesses have a rightful place in the national procurement discussion. Our military service to the nation sets us apart and Government support through policy recognises this service. Veteran Procurement Policies are a national return on investment on military training, rewards service, creates a strong economy and is a combat multiplier for veteran employment.
VBC acknowledges the QLD Government as the first in the nation to recognise veteran-owned businesses in their state procurement policy.
VBC will lobby all Australian governments (Federal, State and Local councils) until they recognise #veteranowned with procurement access and policy
Veteran Procurement Program (VPP) for corporate Australia
The VPP is a VBC initiative to challenge Australia's corporate is an opportunity for Australian companies to find, source and procure from veteran-owned businesses with the VBC Crest. Many corporate companies have veterans in their values. Our challenge is to ‘buy your values’ and give a veteran-owned business an opportunity to win. Values driven business owners, highly trained, capability driven - who wouldn’t want a veteran-owned business in their supply chain?

Business to business relationships
Through VBC Alliance program, our strategic introductions match veteran-owned businesses to collaborate and support a focus on an internal #buyveteran campaign. We encourage VBC members to first look within the community for anything they need to buy.
Consumer product campaign
There are amazing veteran-owned businesses producing consumer products for direct purchase. We will campaign to elevate the VBC Crest to be alongside the “Australian made’ symbol. We will encourage all Australian’s to actively seek out the Crest and make veteran-owned pivotal in their buying choices.

Your community, your event.
A celebration of veteran enterprise and entrepreneurship.
Four programmes. One path.
The path follows a route every serving member knows: you join up, you get on the ground, you take command, and you plan the next campaign from headquarters.
Alliance
Join the movement.
Get in the room.
Every campaign starts with signing up. Alliance is your way into the Veteran Business Community: a monthly chance to pitch your business, introductions to the people you need to know.
For: veteran-owned businesses at any stage that want to be seen, connected and in the
Operator
Win the work.
Get paid properly.
Every business starts with an operator: the person on the ground doing the work. If you sell it, deliver it and chase the cash yourself, Operator makes that work pay. You'll sharpen your pricing, your pipeline and your pitch, so you stop leaving money on the table.
For: owners who are still the engine of the business
Command
Build the team. Step
out of the engine room.
Then comes command. Your business has outgrown you doing everything, but everything still comes back to you. Command builds the team, systems and leadership that let the business run without you holding it together.
For: owners whose business has outgrown them doing everything
J5
Plan the next
campaign.
In a military headquarters, J5 is the plans and strategy branch: while everyone else fights today's battle, J5 plans the next campaign. Our J5 is a boardroom of owners running $3m+ businesses, working on where their businesses go, sharing and planning tactics.
For: owners who already have a leadership team
