This upcoming Veterans Day, we honor the service of veterans who have protected our country and continue to serve as business leaders, creators, and innovators. The SBA offers a range of resources to help veterans transition from military service to business ownership. Here’s a breakdown of some key programs and how they’re making a difference: ?SBA Veteran Advantage Loan Program Through this program, the SBA reduces fees on its 7(a) loans specifically for veterans and their families. These loans provide essential capital to start, grow, or expand a business, and the lower fees make it more accessible for veterans to secure funding. Whether it’s for working capital, equipment, or inventory, this program is designed to give veterans a financial edge in their entrepreneurial journey. ??Boots to Business (B2B) This is an entrepreneurial education and training program specifically for transitioning service members and their spouses. Offered as part of the Department of Defense’s Transition Assistance Program, Boots to Business provides hands-on training in foundational aspects of business ownership, from creating a business plan to understanding basic finances. B2B also offers advanced courses that delve deeper into key areas, ensuring veterans have a strong start. ??Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Programs The SBA also offers training programs like the Service-Disabled Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Program (SDVETP) and Women Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Program (WVETP), tailored to veterans with specific needs. These programs provide industry-specific training, mentorship, and tools to help veteran entrepreneurs thrive in competitive fields. Each of these programs reflects the SBA’s commitment to supporting veteran entrepreneurs in their journeys. If you or someone you know is a veteran ready to launch or grow a business, we encourage you to explore these resources. You’ve served our country, and now it’s time to let us serve you. ?? #VeteransDay #VeteranOwned #SBAResources #SmallBusinessLoans #Entrepreneurship
