Launching February 2026
At Coleman Management Advisors (CMA), we’ve always believed that access to high-quality business guidance should not be reserved for a select few. Some of the most capable, disciplined, and mission-driven entrepreneurs in this country are veterans—and yet too many of them are forced to navigate entrepreneurship without the resources, clarity, or operational support they deserve. 
That’s why I’m proud to officially announce the CMA Veteran Support Initiative (VSI), launching this February.
This initiative has been quietly in the works for months. While it may look simple on the surface, it’s the result of a significant amount of hands-on development, late nights, and intentional design. I’ve personally been coding, building, structuring, and refining this platform to ensure it delivers real value, not just good intentions.
Why the Veteran Support Initiative Exists
Veterans bring unmatched strengths into business:
-
Discipline under pressure
-
Strong leadership and accountability
-
Mission-first thinking
-
Comfort with complex systems
Yet many veteran-owned businesses struggle not because of effort or intelligence—but because of structural disadvantages:
-
Limited access to institutional-quality templates and tools
-
Overpriced consulting services with little transparency
-
Fragmented advice across YouTube, blogs, and paid gurus
-
A lack of ongoing operational support once the business launches
The CMA Veteran Support Initiative is designed to close that gap.
What the CMA Veteran Support Initiative Is
At its core, VSI is a free, high-quality business resource portal built specifically for veterans.
This is not a watered-down version of CMA’s work. It’s not a lead magnet disguised as help. And it’s not a generic “small business tips” library.
It’s a real operating toolkit—the same types of materials I use when advising founders, operators, and executives across industries.
The Resource Library (100% Free)
Veterans who join the platform will receive access to a growing library of professionally built resources, including:
-
Excel Templates
-
Financial models
-
Budgeting and cash flow tools
-
Pricing calculators
-
Sales forecasting templates
-
-
Word Templates
-
Business plans
-
Operating procedures (SOPs)
-
Policies and internal documentation
-
Investor and lender narratives
-
-
PowerPoint Templates
-
Pitch decks
-
Investor presentations
-
Strategic planning decks
-
Internal operating reviews
-
-
Sales & Growth Tools
-
Pricing strategy frameworks
-
Customer discovery templates
-
Go-to-market planning tools
-
-
Educational Content
-
Step-by-step videos
-
Practical walkthroughs
-
Clear explanations of complex business concepts
-
Guidance on how to actually use the templates—not just download them
-
All of this is available at no cost to veterans.
Ongoing Support — At a Meaningful Discount
While the platform itself is designed to be fully usable on its own, some veterans will want ongoing, hands-on support as they grow.
For veterans who choose to work with CMA beyond the resource library, the initiative includes:
-
A 50% discount on CMA’s standard hourly or fixed-fee services
-
Access to structured, ongoing operational and strategic support
-
The ability to submit business information directly through the VSI portal for review and advisory services
Built With Intention — Not as a Side Project
This initiative wasn’t delegated. It wasn’t outsourced. And it wasn’t rushed.
I’ve personally been:
-
Designing the portal architecture
-
Coding and configuring the platform
-
Organizing and structuring the resource library
-
Ensuring the experience aligns with CMA’s standards
The goal is simple:
When a veteran logs in, it should feel like stepping into a real operating environment—not a content dump.
Launching February 2026
The CMA Veteran Support Initiative officially launches February 2026.
This is just the beginning. The platform will continue to grow, evolve, and expand as more veterans use it and provide feedback.
This is not a campaign.
It’s a commitment.
