SBA's VBOCs offer workshops, training, counseling, and mentorship opportunities in your area. VBOCs can also help you navigate SBA’s extensive resource partner network and refer you to a community partner, lender, or SBA program.
Transition assistance programs VBOCs work closely with SBA district offices and Transition Service Managers at military installations to conduct Boots to Business classes for service members and military spouses.

Other business developmental-related services VBOCs also provide assistance and training in such areas as manufacturing , international trade , franchising, internet marketing, accounting, and more.
