Thank you, MSG Arthur Whiteside. I have been playing with the idea of starting a small scooter dealership here as I have been seeing a boom in scooters around town (3 colleges/universities in town) & no dedicated dealers.

If you are considering contracting for the Government there are Veteran Owned and Service Disabled veteran set asides that most agencies have a hard time meeting their goals. SCORE and SBA should be a good resource as there is plenty of potential for Vets looking for work.
