Who
USBME’s programs and resources are built for:
- Farmers and rural landowners with underused land, buildings, or capital
- Retirees and semi-retired individuals looking for a new, hands-on venture
- Families with multiple household members able to contribute labor
- Small business owners looking to diversify into manufacturing
- Entrepreneurs interested in supply-chain and reshoring opportunities
- Veterans and skilled tradespeople transitioning to civilian small-business ownership
- Community and economic-development organizations in rural counties looking to attract light industry
None of these groups need a manufacturing background to start. USBME’s How section is designed to walk a first-time operator through the entire process, from finding a customer to signing an agreement to scaling production.
