Pillar Three

Enterprise

Connecting Corps-owned businesses so members trade with each other, share contracts, and do business better together.

Business Within the Network

Enterprise is about Corps members doing business with each other — and doing it better together.

The ROSE Network does not start businesses. It connects the Corps-owned businesses that already exist, surfaces contracts worth bidding for, and helps members keep work inside a community that understands each other's standards.

If a Corps-owned business needs a web developer, a legal advisor, an accountant, or a commercial partner, our first suggestion is simple: look within the network. Someone here probably does it — and does it well.

What Enterprise Looks Like

Corps-Owned Business Directory

A growing directory of businesses founded and run by members of the Corps family. When members need a supplier, partner, or service, they look here first.

Business-to-Business

Introductions and referrals that help Corps-owned businesses trade with each other — suppliers, clients, collaborators, and commercial partners already inside a trusted network.

Contracts and Tenders

Members surface contracts open for bidding — public-sector tenders, commercial subcontracts, and partnership opportunities — so Corps-owned businesses get early sight of relevant work.

Working with British Veteran Owned

The ROSE Network sits within the Intelligence Corps Association, which means commercial activity cannot sit inside the charitable structure.

That is why we work in collaboration with British Veteran Owned (BVO), an independent organisation that supports veteran-owned businesses across the UK.

The arrangement is straightforward: the ROSE Network brings the trusted community and relationships; BVO brings a commercial ecosystem better suited to veteran-led enterprise. They are independent organisations working alongside each other, not one organisation owning the other.

The Progression

Enterprise sits on top of the first two pillars. It works best when members already know each other, trust each other, and understand the value each person brings.

1

Transition

You enter the network, get mentoring, and make a more informed move into civilian professional life.

2

Professional Network

You build your career inside a trusted peer network, making introductions and staying connected to people who understand your background.

3

Enterprise

You use those trusted relationships to trade with other Corps-owned businesses, share contracts worth bidding for, and keep commercial work inside the community where it makes sense, with BVO alongside the network where appropriate.

List Your Business or Share a Contract

If you run a Corps-owned business, need a trusted supplier, or have a contract the network should see, register your interest and we will connect you with the right members.

Express Interest Explore the Professional Network

Enterprise activity sits outside the charitable structure of the Intelligence Corps Association. The ROSE Network facilitates professional connection; British Veteran Owned is an independent collaborator providing the commercial ecosystem for veteran-led enterprise.
