Aside from RallyPoint, where is the best place to connect with service members and veterans who are looking for business opportunities?

I am very passionate about connecting with service members who are separating soon from service and veterans who already have to share our business opportunity. Can the members here kindly provide local points of contact for us to reach employment transition offices or local veteran employment offices? We are in the business of helping military members transition to business ownership and independence. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Linkedin? It's a great resource for military and civilians (and especially military personnel transitioning), probably the best I've seen. I encourage you to do your research and if it's for you, take a look at the link and join, it is free to join as well.

From what I can tell you aren't allowed to let anyone know through RP, that you help veterans or promote your Veteran owned business EVEN if you NEVER charge a Veteran or Spouse for your help. I can post jobs all over LinkedIn with little or no objection. I mean, who are we trying to help here anyway? That's just my opinion.

Look at LinkedIn. There is a huge Veteran/Military Member presence there.
