Join us to celebrate National Veterans Small Business Week Nov. 1-5
It's no surprise that service members, veterans, and military spouses make great entrepreneurs. The resilience, determination, and fortitude they have acquired from the military has prepared them for life as a successful small business owner.
The SBA and the Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) empower transitioning service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses through all stages of small business ownership.
Join us in two weeks for the VBOC-hosted Operation Entrepreneur webinar series to learn from military-connected business coaches and peer entrepreneurs. Discover trends in military-connected entrepreneurship, and connect with fellow military-connected businesses on their challenges and successes in starting, running, and growing their businesses.
