Presented by the U.S. Small Business Administration
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 2021 will take place in November 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, events will take place virtually or in-person, depending on state and local guidelines, but the goal of NVSBW remains the same – to raise awareness of veteran small business ownership and encourage communities to support their veteran- and military-owned businesses. This year, we will focus on celebrating the strength and resilience of the veteran and military small business community as they continue to adapt, pivot, and overcome the economic hardships from the last 18 months. The SBA and its partners will work to connect these small business owners to resources that will help them not only start or grow a business but also continue to navigate this uncertain time.
OWNING A VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS
