Which of the following is true? Veterans are:
- More likely than others to begin businesses
- More successful in their businesses than others
- Working in home-based businesses.
The answer, of course, is “All of the Above.” If you’re a baby boomer veteran considering starting a small business, there are many resources to help you. The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 was enacted to help veterans begin and succeed in businesses. This legislation established an office of Veterans Business Development within the SBA. The mission of this office is to:
“maximize the availability, applicability and usability of all administration small business programs for Veterans, Service-Disabled Veterans, Reserve Component Members, and their Dependents or Survivors.”
Through this office you can get a Patriot Express Pilot Loan or receive help from one of the Veterans Business Outreach Centers.
You’ve the experience and the education and the will to succeed. Life is short. What are you waiting for?
