America’s SBDCs proudly serve America’s veterans. We are proud of the great work that SBDCs across the nation do to serve those who served. And we are especially proud of the many SBDC clients and business advisers who are veterans of our country’s Armed Forces.
Veteran-owned businesses are a crucial part of our nation’s economy: 99.9 percent of all veteran-owned businesses are small businesses; they employ more than five million people; and they account for annual payrolls of $195 billion. America’s SBDCs provide free business consulting and at-cost training to thousands of veterans and members of our nation’s Armed Forces who are transitioning out of military service each year.
