Equipment Funding For Veteran Owned Small Business
Available Resources
Starting a business after military service may seem like uncharted territory, but there are resources to help you. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers support for veterans transitioning from military service to business owners. The SBA provides veterans access to business counseling, training and business development opportunities through government contracts. The Office of Veterans Business Development (OVBD) promotes veteran entrepreneurship. Every year, the federal government awards contracting dollars to businesses owned by veterans.

Above And Beyond
With an estimated $947.7 billion in annual receipts, veteran owned businesses have a positive influence on the American economy. Every year, nearly 200,000 service members transition to civilian life. 20 percent of them are looking to start businesses. Veterans make up roughly 7 percent of the population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, veteran-owned businesses make up 6.1 percent of all firms in the United States. For every ten veterans, there’s approximately one veteran owned company. 5.8 million people across the nation work for veteran owned companies. That’s around 2.4 million businesses. According to the SBA, veterans are 45% more likely to be self-employed than non-veterans.
Boot Strapping
Veteran entrepreneurs face difficulties when accessing capital for equipment purchases. Many businesses are not considered “lender-ready” by traditional banks. This is an impediment to growth. Most small businesses don’t have a bucket of discretionary cash lying around. Financing is always a major concern. If you have the grit and determination to start your own business, bootstrapping may be an option. Bootstrapping is when a business owner starts a company with little or no assets. Making something out of nothing isn’t new, but the advantage would be starting up with little or no debt. Building a company from personal finances or its operating revenues can be difficult. This form of financing allows the entrepreneur to maintain more control, but it also can increase financial strain.
