In addition to protecting our freedom at home and abroad, U.S. veterans are returning home and strengthening our economy.
In fact, 10% of all small businesses in the United States are launched and run by veterans. This translates to over 6 million created jobs and over $1 trillion in annual domestic revenue.
Additionally, veteran-owned businesses have a higher success rate than other startups, which is a reflection of training, discipline, and diverse skill sets.
With that, we have put together a number of business resources for veterans to help them with their continued success back home.
Before deciding on what type of business to start, it helps to have business resources for veterans at your disposal. There are organizations out there with everything from laying the foundation for veteran entrepreneurs to launch their businesses, to business plan templates, to gateways for veteran entrepreneurs to connect with each other for advice and trade secrets. There are even networks for managerial and business owner training for veterans transitioning into the private and commercial sectors.
