Hundreds of thousands of servicemen were exposed to asbestos over decades, especially during the period from 1940 to 1980.  Asbestos was used in construction of naval vessels as well as shore facilities.  All branches of the military used asbestos, which was also widely used in civilian applications.  Asbestos can cause mesothelioma.  Because this cancer has a particularly long latency period, many servicemen who were exposed years ago are now developing this disease.

We fight for veterans harmed by asbestos: Veterans with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer should know they have options: the opportunity to bring a suit against manufacturers and sellers of the asbestos that caused their illness.

VA Business Programs for Veterans

by John P. Allen

updated 5/2007

The Department of Veterans Affairs has created the Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE), which is solely dedicated to assisting veterans in starting and building businesses. They call it VetBiz.

VetBiz is a Veteran Resource Information web site designed to assist veteran entrepreneurs who want to start and expand their businesses in the Federal and private marketplace.

This database is the number one source for Federal agencies looking for SDVOSB's to comply with Executive Order 13360 (97KB PDF) . The Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database averages over 4500 visits per month accounting for over 4100 vendor searches by Federal agencies, prime contractors and private citizens.

    We started our business a year ago. We got personal loan to start our business but since the downfall of economy and higher tax on our loan we cant seem to get even. The business is doing good in terms of customer. Were getting known but we need help on financing. I would like to consolidate our personal loan (use for the business) and business credit and credit card to put together on one business loan. We are trying to expand by hiring couple people and getting our shop more electronic. We are looking at borrowing 150,000 to 200,000 for the business. As of now my husband is doing everything from mechanic to admin (due to my recent mobilization) and taking care of our children. We have one employee. Any help will do. Please feel free to contact us at mussman2m@gmail.com.

      As I have researched getting a SBA loan I noticed a lot of e-mails popping up stating they will guarentee funding. First of all most legit lending companies will have web sites and addresses posted in most search engines. secondly be very careful when the e-mail address for a lending company has to use yahoo.com as there e-mail address. There are a lot of yahoo.com, gmail.com, address from so called lending companies, if you need to ask for a physical address and phone numbers, and contact the local BBB to see if the business is legit and if any complaints have been lodged against the company in question. And always remember it seem to easy or to good to be true then chances are it isn't. My e-mail address is Dolphin_photo@yahoo.com.

    By Roman Cansino on 2009-01-17 00:09:20
    I have a VA Housing Loan Certificate since 1976 I never used. Now, since it's hard to find a good paying job, I want to buy an existing, profitable, small TX Business, anywhere in Texas. Yes, they do pop up every once in awhile but, they get snapped up just as quickly if, they are a genuine moneymaker. I have seen this happen many times. Anyway, every time I seriously research into a VA Business Loan, a road block get sets up by the SBA saying a down payment of 25% is required, well now it's 30% for an SBA Bank participant Loan.
    My thinking is (and I know it's warped sometimes but, that's another matter); If a VA Housing Loan can be fanagled into being used with a dollar down or nothing at all for a home, how come it can't be used as a VA Business Loan like this? And seems to me, this has been used by WWII Vets to buy a VA Business Loan and, how come I get road blocked by the SBA with their 30% down payment? No one has come clean on this. No one seems to have an honest answer or knowledgeable answer. Yes, that's right, KNOWLEDGEABLE answer. Some answers do not have any relevance. Or, just do not sound right. Can anyone genuinely help, please!! I know this is a question by other Vets that are set up with this financial booger.

      Roman, I agree with you and I am very disappointed that the government does NOT have a better program for Veterans to start a business or get a better business loan. Clearly, the VA Home Loan program stands on it's own and has been very successful. You logic is trying to make cents of it all is correct. I do get tons of emails from Veterans who want to start their own businesses and they get frustrated with the process because it's just not as cut and dry as the VA Home Loan program. What's the answer that will help you? Well, I direct you to their information on starting a business on our pages here at the top...CLICK on BUSINESS menu and see what make cents for you.

    I separated from the U.S.A.F. on 2-25-83 with an honorable discharge. I tutored students in algebra and trigonometry while attending U.N.M. and then got married and moved to Florida. I'm nearly 50 now and assist my 11 year old twin boys with math lessons every day. I'd like to do something more than tutor students from home and I'm only interested in working for myself now. I'd like some information on how to obtain a business loan for starting a math education business outside my home where students could learn algebra, trigonometery and pre-calculus.
    I'd also like to know if I started a nonprofit corporation could I still offset some of the funding for a salary that I could live on? Thanks for your input. I can be emailed at 1129jupiter@live.com

      Mark, as for taking a salary as a non-profit, I believe that you can do that as long as it's reasonable and within commonly accepted guidelines. However, for that specific information and to confirm, you need to go to www.irs.gov and get the rules for Non-Profits and salaries. You might want to get an accountant to also confirm and/or assist you if the mumbo jumbo from the IRS gets you confused like most of us. As for getting an SBA loan, I believe the info the article should point you in the right direction. Give it a go!

    I'm a U.S. Army veteran and have been out for about 4 years after serving 10. I have been in the repossession industry since leaving the military. It's been a family affair of sorts. I recently moved to Houston, Texas and I have a great opportunity to open a company down here with numerous clients. I'm lacking the startup needed to do so. My credit is shaky. What is it that I have to do to find a small business loan? I can be reached at corjayo@netscape.net. Thanks!

      Hello; I am having the same problemo. The only way to acquire an SBA Business loan is to have an SBA required 25% to 30% down payment in cash or assets of whatever larger amount you want to borrow for a "Patriot Express" 7(a) Guaranteed low interest SBA Bank participant Loan. To quote va.gov/vetbiz/finance/fnhm.htm#grants "Contrary to popular belief, there are no Federal Grants made specifically for the purpose of starting a business." Skeptical? You might try calling your friendly neighborhood SBA Office and ask to speak to a S.C.O.R.E. representative. Look at my comment to Mark Hassinger. Your question will be answered. This needs to be addressed to the State Governor or State Representative. Vets need a break with a grant for the SBA down payment that can be so significant. You know, this might even be a good suggestion to help out the economy. If enough of us Vets write our official reps. we just might get this done. Am I starting something here? Cool.



    By Roman Cansino on 2009-01-28 12:16:50
    To Mark Hassinger;
    You might try calling your friendly neighborhood SBA Office and ask to speak to a S.C.O.R.E. representative. The Service Corp Of Retired Executives are a fine bunch of voluntary retired business people. They are ex-professionals as well as trained counselors with many resources and training materials at their reach. They are straight shooters and very humble. I have spoken to a few of them at different times. Speaking to them should be your first step (as a suggestion).
    Your second step (also a suggestion) might be to call your State "Small Business Development Center." In San Antonio, TX they are located next to UTSA downtown. Their name says it all.
    Good luck in your endeavor. I'm thinking of a name for your business. How about "Math Sense."

    I seperated from the U.S.A.F on Feb 1991. I have had many life experiences since leaving the military, I now see that 20 years would not have been that long as it had seemed at the time. I have management skills from working with established companies (assistant and store manager). I started a small business in Hawaii, which was a t-shirt graphic design company. I have also been in the entertainment industry and once secured a $750,000 recording deal with a major and indie label. Having done all these things I now want to take all these life experiences and buy into a franchise that is part of an industry that is up 57% since March and is currently a $1.7 Billion industry.

    You know it's sad that these VA programs are nothing more than make believe. The Government and politicians want the public to think there are legit programs available to veterans so the public will think the veterans are supported and taken care of. Nobody seems to have any answers, no one will call you back. You are given a link to a website which attempts to explain, but only confuses... Then there is the red tape, paper work and DOWN PAYMENT, that no one seems to be able to afford. It's really sad.
    13 years, 5 yrs in combat zones, 3 surgeries and all I get are these phantom programs. I'm sorry for venting. If you want to discuss it more and the issues I've run across, please email me miltonsills@hotmail.com

      It is sad Milton. This may be a good place to start talking about this issue. Politicians have only one issue: Staying in office/power. If that means creating phantom programs that no veteran can possibly take advantage of, then that's just what they are looking for. We don't really expect that they would take this bailout money, or any other part of the budget, and hand it out to the people at the bottom of the food chain do we? Most of the entire bailout went into investors pockets, protecting the rich from a loss in capital, while 85% of Americans are told "it's too complex for you to understand." This goes right along with our defunct education system. Guess why they spend over 50% of the federal budget on "defense" and less than 3% on educatioin (K-college)? It is because the rich rely on an uneducated population to keep this system in place. This system is built on a few people having a majority of the wealth. Just google "United States wealth distribution" They have no intention of helping veterans out. The uneducated public raises its voice to support veterans and this is the end-product: a host of symbolic programs that aren't accessible. This country is starting to rot.

      Dear Mr. Richey, I am currently looking into starting a business making aluminum motorcycle, boat and light utility trailers on the east coast of central Florida about 100 miles south of Daytona. I have experience as a welder and did work for a company that built motorcycle trailers. I would be using my own designs for the trailers plus I would also provide welding services. The problem I have is that I do not have startup capital of my own, I would bring all the hand tools and knowledge but I do not have the building or machinery that I would need or capital to buy materials. Any input on what I should do would be helpful. Norman E. Broyer

I have 15 years in the restaurant business and I am currently an Area Director with IHOP. My credit is challenged due to back taxes and i am not eligible for a SBA loan. I have a real oppurtunity to produce a decent living working for myself, this is a goal that is within my grasp. The capital needed is for appliction fees, product supply, transportation, and equipment. I am confident that this is a solid endeavor for the next twenty years of my life. Please consider contacting me for my business plan. Thanks for the opppurtunity you are offering veterans. Orlando King 682-551-8835

    By Sabinus on 2009-03-17 15:47:06
    Hi, Folks!

    I am a veteran of U.S. Army currently residing in Osceola, Iowa. The thing I've noticed about VA loans or just about anything administered by the VA is that they take time and require a lot of patience from your part.. You have to be very patient to get things done or else you'd end up frustrated and let frustration get in the way of what you are trying to accomplish. VA business loans are out there, yes.

    But for entrepreneur minded veterans who lack the capital, credit worthiness, or collateral for a start-up, these loan initiatives offered by the Veteran Administrations and SBA seem but unreachable for the common veteran like who lacks the criterion mentioned above. I do not have a pie-in-the-sky type offer intriguing enough to convince some one, but I do have the old NCO attitude of, taking care of my soldiers and looking out for my fellow NCOs and Officers.

    To be honest, it was a jungle out here in the civilian world for me. I couldn't just pick-up the phone and call my Platoon Leader from the bank to vouch for me or have Top and the C.O. come down to the car dealership to review my car loan before I get scammed into purchasing a lemon. These services are offered to the veterans they are just not readily available like First Seargant or the CO.

    I've research different options of Start-up financing and found that Peer 2 Peer lending can be an option for Star-tups who lack the criteria most traditional banks look in order to make a decision to offer you a loan or not. Get together with a niche group in your community to brain storm this idea. The concept was made light to main stream when Muhammed Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank, won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. The idea is being chmapioned by Virgin Records founder, Sir Richard Branson.
    Read more about it at http://www.filife.com/stories/virgin-moneys-student-loan-alternative

    I have a BETA website site using the free NING social networking platform to collaborate with like-minded individuals where we share business ideas or just simply testing and critiquing our business ideas and web 2.0 type business tools. Join us.

      Mr. Johnson, I have a personal loan from Citi Financial in Corpus Christi, Tx. I have paid on time and have not had any late payments. My loan is at 27%. I have tried to get it down, but the manager keeps saying upper management will not do it. I have called many a times to have this done to no avail, yet they were happy to renew my loan. I'm going to try to get a bigger loan to get rid of Citi Financial. It seems they're ready to help providing that you get it a their high interest rate. That's sad.

    We are looking for investment for our movie production company. We started working on a comedy project to present to showtime, place in theatres and put into DVD rental locations. Our cast of local actors did a great job and now because of all the great attention we are looking for more money to bring a few known actors to generate millions at the box office. We used our own income and now we would like to us a professional movie productionn company to give us the best picture. The movie industry is very strong at this point and movies are making mega millions just off of a million or hundreds of thousand dollars. We are asking for help in achieving our dreams, an investment of 75,000 would help our movie come to life. The return to the investor will be 10 percent of the movie profits for the life of the movie, from box office tickets, dvd rentals, network sales, and other areas. This may seem like a lot to offer for a small investment, but honestly we are so ready to start making movies.

      Yeah, and I have beach front property in Nevada you can buy. All you look at these posts and offers on this site should be careful when sending information to someone you don't know. Key things to look for: Does the company operate overseas? Do they have a business email address, or are they using a free service like Yahoo Mail. Just looking out for my own. Good luck in all your endeavors.

    Dear Good Friend,


    I am Mr.John Wilson, The Chief Auditor/Information Manager, In-Charge
    of Foreign Unit of our bank and i have had the intent to contact you
    over this financial transaction/transfer worth the sum of( SEVENTEEN
    MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) (US$17.5M)for our
    progress and richness.This is an abandoned sum that belongs to our
    late foreign customer (an International Billionaire French Businessman)
    who died in plane crash disaster since three years ago along with his
    wife.


    I was opportune to see the deceased deposit file bearing this huge
    amount of money when i was inspecting the dated and current customers files
    in other to sign and submit to the entire bank management for an
    official validation / re-documentation against the statement approval to the
    account holders for the year. In a swift investigation carried out by
    me, i found out that non of the deceased relative is aware of the
    abandoned fund except his late wife. As a result of that, it is an
    extremely confidential matter between me and you.
    Hence you are a foreigner to our country, you are authorized by our
    Banking law to apply and claim the fund into your account as the
    NEXT-OF-KIN to the deceased. For assisting me to get the fund transferred into
    your bank account, the ratio of 40% of the total sum is for your share
    whereas 60% is for me as business pioneer.


    Please i need your urgent response on assurance of trust that you will
    not deny my right of the share once the fund gets into your account
    because i am a poor civil servant who depend on little monthly salary.
    That you are the one who will help me to get visa to your country
    immediately i resign from my work on the instant of the transfer into
    your account.


    If you are really sure of your integrity, trustworthy, and
    confidentiality, reply urgently and to prove that, include your particulars as
    follows to my Email:johnwilson.online01@gmail.com


    Your Full Names...................
    Occupation...........................

      if you read some of these replies closely, like this one, its not hard to see that they are phishing scams... no one will just flat out give you a loan, unless there not real... any bank or financial inst. will require alot of info, ie business profile/portfolio ect, for a loan... please dont fall for this and give these people your info.. i dont want my fellow veterans dealing w this sh*t... and i speak from experience! i fell for it once and have been kicking myself since.. especially when credit cards began opening in my name that i never seen before! watch out people, and best of luck in your future business goals!!!

      As I have researched getting a SBA loan I noticed a lot of e-mails popping up stating they will guarentee funding. First of all most legit lending companies will have web sites and addresses posted in most search engines. secondly be very careful when the e-mail address for a lending company has to use yahoo.com as there e-mail address. There are a lot of yahoo.com, gmail.com, address from so called lending companies, if you need to ask for a physical address and phone numbers, and contact the local BBB to see if the business is legit and if any complaints have been lodged against the company in question. And always remember it seem to easy or to good to be true then chances are it isn't. My e-mail address is Dolphin_photo@yahoo.com

    Hello everyone. I am a former Marine who got out in 1998 with an Honorable discharge. Since then I've gotten my bachelor's degree and have a very good job; however, a job is not what I want. I am a leader minded person who is not happy working for other people and helping them get richer while I make peanuts(compared to them).

    I am interested in learning how to get a loan for a business. I have very good credit. I am interested in buying into a gym franchise, as I am a bodybuilder as well.

    Any tips would be welcomed! Please email me if you can point me in the right direction! twiggy706@yahoo.com

    I could not agree with AC AF1 more. Many of the loan companies listed here are phishing scams. I am suprised to see how many people have replied with all of there information right into this forum! Come on people!!! Think about what you are doing! Research these companies before giving them any information!

    I am looking into trying to start a small business with a VA small business loan. I retired after 20 years of service with the Army and now I am looking to make some money to help me really retire.

    If anyone has any information on the best way to go about this and possibly a good business to start with I would greatly appreciate it.

    I live in a pretty rural part of north central Florida and we have a desperate need for many businesses. I just want to be successful so I need to be smart in the desicions.

    I can be reached at m2a2mastergunner@yahoo.com for those with genuine information.

    How in the ---- do these people get on what I thought was a prestigous site. This is suppose to be the VA. If you call just about 90% of Phonebook listings,you get nothing but B-------. So you go to the computer,and spend 3 hours trying to get through,and then you get to the end and find out that none of it is legetimate,and some a------ is trying to steal from you. This S--- should not be allowed on a VA site.Proud Veteran.
