Pursuing a second career after leaving the military can be challenging, which is why a growing number of veterans choose to become entrepreneurs.
A 2018 study by the the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Advocacy reported that there were over 379,000 veteran-owned employer businesses in the U.S., and overall, 6.8 percent of all employer businesses were majority owned by one or more veterans.
Although veteran-owned businesses are often more successful than the average startup, they still need mentorship, funding and support to take their idea from concept to market.
