Veterans made up only 6% of all new entrepreneurs last year, compared to 12% in 2000. That’s a 50% decline in new veteran owned businesses. From 1999 until 2008, veterans started their own businesses at a greater rate than civilians, but from 2009 on, civilians have outpaced veterans in starting new companies. To help resolve this problem, the military is expected to launch a program to offer help starting a business to the approximately 250,000 who leave the military every year.
Since its inception, the number of Veteran Owned Business members has grown to nearly 15,000 members with over a million visitors to the Veteran Owned Business website.
“This opportunity aligns with national ongoing efforts to connect Vets with non-military corporate entities and may provide other partnering opportunities in the future that could also benefit veterans and their families,” said Chuong Bui, manager of supplier diversity for NBC Universal.
The Melbourne, Florida-based Veteran Owned Business organization was launched on Veterans Day 2008 with a mission to help empower military veterans who own businesses to grow and hire employees–and as a means of giving back to those who faithfully served our country.
