8 Small Business Resources Designed for Veterans

Veterans are a powerful and successful community that make up a significant part of the nation’s small business landscape. More than 2.4 million Veterans return to their communities after their service and decide to apply their hard-won skills to establishing their own businesses.

Military training gives Veterans an advantage as they learn quickly to adapt to new and changing conditions and to do so under pressure. The experience hones important leadership qualities that are associated with successful entrepreneurs.

We are grateful to our Veterans, not only for their service but also for their unique contributions as small business owners. We also want to thank the network of organizations that have united to increase business opportunities for Veterans. There are a variety of organizations committed to helping Veterans advance as small business owners.  

Our list of 8 small business resources offers tools and mentoring for Veteran entrepreneurs at any stage of business. The programs are open to those who have small businesses or are ready to explore taking the first steps to launch one.
