The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrates, connects, and empowers service member (including National Guard and Reserve), veteran, and military spouse entrepreneurs and business owners – past, present, and future – during National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW).
NVSBW 2022 will take place on October 31-November 4. This year, we will focus on celebrating the strength and resilience of the veteran and military small business community.
Time, effort, and grit – combined with community support and U.S Small Business Administration (SBA) resources – propel members of the military community to launch and maintain profitable businesses. The endeavors of business ownership are lifechanging for owners and those around them, from family members and community members to patrons.
The SBA has worked hard to provide additional support and guidance to service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses at all stages of small business ownership. These community members continue to march beyond the events of the pandemic and use what they’ve learned over the past few years to propel their businesses forward. No matter where you are located, the SBA and its extensive partner network are available across the country to provide the resources you need to remain strong and grow your business. The SBA provides transition assistance, entrepreneurial training, disaster assistance, access to capital, and government contracting opportunities right in your local neighborhood.
