The purpose for the Florida Association of Veteran-Owned Businesses, Inc. (FAVOB) is to promote and unite the many established and start-up businesses that are owned by Veterans and Disabled Veterans throughout the State of Florida, and to increase awareness of the organization at the city, county, state and federal levels. FAVOB is a Florida Corporation, Non-Profit 501c (6) Organization for the benefit of Veteran Business Owners in an effort to give Veterans the same opportunities as other disadvantaged groups with respect to selection for work, for bidding opportunities, and for project contract awards. It is the intent of FAVOB to help grow these Veteran businesses, as well as support and endorse employing Veterans as they return from active and reserve duty to join the civilian workforce.
