A recently formed company is working with veteran-owned businesses to procure government contracts and help them get the certification needed to apply for contracts.

Bear Global was formed by Byron Stallworth to help minority business owners, which include minority groups, women, and veterans to grow stronger, more effective and more efficient.

Stallworth and his partner, Bill Maltbie, were invited to speak to the Veterans Service Commission Board Wednesday, Feb. 10, about opportunities for veterans who own their own businesses.
