Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in consultancy but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dewayne Kimble, Founder of KMD89 VA Claims Consulting, located in Apollo Beach, FL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I educate veterans on the Department of Veterans Affairs claims process.  My clients include veterans, active-duty service members, and/or their family members, that are frustrated and not educated on the VA claims process.

Tell us about yourself

I was directly involved in the VA Disability Compensation Claims decision process and adjudicating my own claim as a VA rater before retiring. This provided me with invaluable insight into the necessary paperwork, and processes veterans (and myself) go through while trying to receive compensation benefits. This inspired me to create KMD89 VA Claims Consulting. I'm determined to "LEAVE NO VET BEHIND." I created an understandable process that alleviates stress and helps EDUCATE Veterans on how to maximize their VA disability compensation benefits successfully.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Hearing veterans say that I changed their lives by education them on the VA claims process.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Finding other businesses to do B2B with (finding CPAs has been the biggest headache).

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Speak with a lawyer about asset protection, contracts, disclaimers, publicity waivers, etc., insurance broker on correct insurance coverage, and find a tax strategist/CPA.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Learn your customer.
