Small Business Administration News Release 
 

Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the kickoff of Veterans Small Business Week, an initiative on the part of SBA to reach out to veteran entrepreneurs and small business owners. Veterans Small Business Week will be held from November 4 to 11 and is part of SBA's work throughout the year to make sure our nation's veterans have the tools and capital they need to start or grow a business.

 

"Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who have served our country," said Acting SBA Administrator Jeanne Hulit.  "SBA's Veterans Small Business Week is so exciting because it really shines a light on what makes our nation strong.  Veterans are highly-skilled and highly-trained leaders in their communities; it makes sense that after serving their country they would want to bring these skills back home and start businesses.  Our job at the SBA is to make sure veterans know what tools and programs are out there to help them achieve their dreams."
