Built by a veteran.
For veteran owners.
Forward Brands helps veteran-owned businesses explain what they do, so the right customers pick them.
Great veteran businesses lose to worse ones.
Customers can’t tell who’s better, so they pick the cheaper option.
People respect the service. Then they hire someone else.
More ads and a new logo don’t fix a confusing message.
We started this to change that.
They know what you do and why to pick you.
No more discounting to get the job.
Your team can sell it without you in the room.
From the Marine Corps
to helping veterans win.
We’ve been where you are. We’ve also spent years on the other side of the table, helping veterans start and grow businesses.
Starting a business was step one.
Getting picked is next.
Why we started.
Ask why veteran-owned businesses struggle, and the most common answer is money. Loans. Investors. Access to capital.
After years of helping veterans build businesses, we saw something else. Unclear messages cost customers. And without customers, you can’t grow.
The first way to get money into your business is to sell more. We couldn’t control what an underwriter sees or fix someone’s credit score. But we could help owners explain what they do, so they sell more of their products and services. So we started Forward Brands.
Your first investor is a customer.
How we work.
We talk to your customers and find out why they really picked you.
We look at who else they consider, and what sets you apart.
We write clear words that make people pick you, then help put them to work.
