British Veteran Owned, in partnership with Hermes Digital, is developing a new digital platform for regimental veteran business associations.
It is designed to help regimental and corps associations professionalise their presence, manage members, promote veteran-owned businesses, share opportunities, and connect with trusted partners.
This is not just a website. It is a practical operating platform for regimental associations that want to support veteran entrepreneurs, strengthen the network around their cap badge, and create new commercial value for their members.
Regimental veteran business associations play a vital role.
You understand your regimental community. You know the businesses, the employers, the councils, the chambers, the charities, and the people who can make things happen for members of your regiment or corps.
But many regimental associations are held back by limited digital infrastructure.
Common challenges include:
The result is that regimental networks often have strong relationships, but weak infrastructure.
British Veteran Owned and Hermes Digital are creating a platform that can be adapted for regimental veteran business associations. Each association gets its own branded online presence, while benefiting from shared technology, support, and a wider national veteran business ecosystem.
You keep your regimental identity. We provide the infrastructure to help you grow.
This platform is designed around the way regimental associations actually work. It can help you:
The aim is simple: make it easier for your association to support more veteran-owned businesses, more professionally.
British Veteran Owned exists to make veteran-owned businesses more visible, connected, and commercially successful. By joining this platform model, regimental associations connect into a wider national movement while still retaining their own regimental leadership and independence.
A recognised, trusted hallmark for veteran-owned businesses across the UK.
A wider audience for the businesses your members run and rely on.
Access to national-level partners, sponsors, and stakeholders.
Coordinated activity that lifts every regimental association together.
Procurement and supplier-readiness pathways for member businesses.
A consistent, credible mark that buyers and partners understand.
This creates the foundation for a stronger regimental and national veteran business network.
Hermes Digital is the technical delivery partner behind the platform.
The role of Hermes Digital is to provide the digital infrastructure, platform development, hosting, support, and ongoing improvement needed to make the model scalable.
That means regimental associations do not need to commission a bespoke website or manage a complicated technical project alone.
You get a proven platform model, adapted to your regiment or corps.
The long-term ambition is to create something that operates with the same spirit as the Federation of Small Businesses, but focused on the veteran business community. A network where regimental associations can:
Each regiment and corps remains its own community. Together, the network becomes national.
Veteran-owned businesses need more than encouragement. They need visibility, structure, trusted introductions, and access to opportunity.
Regimental associations are perfectly placed to provide that support, but they need better tools to do it consistently.
This platform gives regimental associations the digital foundation to move from informal networks to professional, sustainable, high-impact business communities.
The platform is also designed to help regimental associations become more sustainable. Potential revenue and value routes include:
The goal is not just to create another online directory. The goal is to help regimental associations build a stronger operating model.
Depending on your needs, your regimental platform could include:
A professional website, member registration, approval workflow, dashboard, contact forms, admin tools, and core legal pages.
Everything in Foundation, plus events, news, member profiles, case studies, mentor listings, and partner pages.
Everything in Community, plus business directory, jobs, tenders, contracts, public appointments, partner opportunities, and CRM support.

The platform is designed to support regimental associations, not replace them.
British Veteran Owned provides the national ecosystem and credibility. Hermes Digital provides the technology. Your association provides the regimental leadership, relationships, and member community.
If your regimental association wants to grow, support more members, attract partners, and create more opportunity for veteran-owned businesses, this platform is designed for you.
Together, we can build a stronger regimental and national veteran business economy.
