DETA Helps Defense Dependent Create New Choices in Business

DETA provides management and technical transition assistance to targeted defense-dependent businesses and individuals, including

  • Defense contractors and sub-contractors
  • Defense-dependent firms that do not sell directly to the DOD or defense-related prime contractors
  • Military personnel, civil service personnel, and employees of defense contractors transitioning from current employment

DETA clients obtained $14 million in capital for
business formation and expansion, increased sales by $6 million, and
created/retained 4,000 jobs in the last year.

DETA Specialists are FSBDCN Certified Business Analysts who provide business support covering areas such as

  • Market development

  • Resource allocation
  • Financial analysis
  • Sources of capital and loan packaging
  • Economic injury loans
  • Government procurement

"DETA has helped us more than any other agency, Federal or State, with reference to the IVAN disaster. You offer services, for free, that other agencies do not offer and commercial clones only offer for hundreds of dollars per day," says John Hovanesian, CNPS, Inc.
