Verizon will invest $5 billion in small business suppliers in the United States over the next five years to launch a new Small Business Supplier Accelerator. The program is aimed at helping small businesses collaborate with Verizon and other large companies through targeted training and flexible solutions such as faster payment terms, modified insurance requirements, and adjusted compensation requirements. The goal is to make it easier for small businesses to join Verizon's supplier network.
