Free Basic Business Plan
A fully customized basic business plan delivered at no cost to any veteran — market analysis, company overview, financial assumptions, and a clear roadmap to launch with confidence.
Veteran Business Support Initiative
Empowering those who served to build, launch, and scale.
CMA honors the discipline, commitment, and leadership veterans bring to entrepreneurship. Founded by a U.S. Army Reserve veteran, this initiative exists to ensure veterans get the strategic support to start and grow successful businesses.
Who's eligible: veterans · active-duty service members · Guard & Reserve · Gold Star families
Six Commitments
What the initiative includes
Subsidized Engagements Each Quarter
The Initiative funds four fully subsidized engagements each quarter for veteran founders, across business plans, pitch decks, fractional COO, market research, and more. The allocation is real and funded, so the support holds. If a quarter is full, we hold your place for the next one.
Veteran Funding Support
Specialized help identifying and pursuing veteran-eligible funding — preparation, positioning, and application support, with funding readiness delivered in partnership with National Business Capital.
Veteran Startup Launch Roadmap
A structured, step-by-step roadmap for transitioning service members and early-stage veteran founders: business formation, licensing, funding options, competitive research, and 90-day execution planning.
One-on-One Strategy Sessions
Personalized advisory sessions with Dallas Coleman, an Army veteran, covering business model development, scaling strategy, and operational planning. Available to veteran founders through the Initiative.
Veteran Resource Library
Free access to templates, checklists, guides, SOPs, and planning documents built specifically for veteran entrepreneurs — business planning, operations, funding preparation, and execution frameworks.
Beyond the subsidized slots, veteran founders on a tighter budget can also use the small-business options, including an owner working session at $650 and an essential plan at $2,500.
Why We Do This
Our commitment to those who served
Supporting veterans is not a marketing tagline at CMA — it is a commitment grounded in lived experience. As a U.S. Army Reserve veteran, our founder understands the challenges service members face transitioning to civilian life, navigating entrepreneurship, and securing the resources to turn an idea into a viable business.
Veterans bring exceptional discipline, resilience, adaptability, and leadership to business — yet often encounter barriers that have nothing to do with capability and everything to do with access. This initiative exists to level that playing field: removing financial, structural, and strategic obstacles so veterans can focus on building.
Whether you're preparing to launch your first venture, expanding an existing operation, or seeking clarity on the next stage of growth, we stand ready to support you with the same diligence and commitment expected in military service.
