Like all successful missions, small business ownership starts with training! That’s why SBA empowers service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses with entrepreneurial training and resources right in their local community. Through a network of partners and grantees, SBA offers specialized training programs for veterans, service-disabled veterans, and veterans interested in federal procurement. Join the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Puerto Rico & USVI District office for an overview of programs and services offered to help veteran-owned small businesses start, grow, expand, and recover.
