What this benefit is

A state-created centre at Salt Lake Community College giving veterans one-to-one help forming a company, testing an idea, writing a business plan, working out the financial need and building a marketing approach.

What it's worth: One-to-one business advice for veterans, arranged by appointment

  • The centre is advisory. It is not a grant, a loan or a bid preference, and no money changes hands in either direction on the agency’s description of it.
  • No fee is stated for the consultation.
  • What it is worth depends entirely on the business it helps you build, which cannot be quantified in advance.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • You served in the armed forces.
  • Your home is in Utah.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Book a one-to-one consultation with an advisor on 801-957-3670 or by email to vbrc@slcc.edu.
  2. 2Come with whatever you have, including nothing. The centre states it will help whether you have a running business or only the seed of an idea.
  3. 3Name what you want out of it — forming the company, testing the idea, the business plan, the financial analysis or the marketing approach are the five things it lists.
  4. 4Treat it as advice, not funding. If you are looking for a contracting preference or a grant, this is not that programme.

No renewal
Once granted it does not need renewing.
Worth knowingThis is the only state-level business programme for veterans in the agency’s 2026 book. Everything else it lists under business resources is federal — the Small Business Administration and the VA’s entrepreneur portal.
Known gapNo state bid or procurement preference for veteran-owned firms appears in the agency’s book. Whether the state code creates one is unresolved, because the code site refused the connection this session.

Sources

Why only one source type: The agency’s own benefit book is the only description read this session. The centre’s own site has not been read, so its hours, intake process and any programme limits are not stated here.
