Nearly 4 million small businesses across America are owned by veterans. According to the US Small Business Administration, the success rate of veteran-owned businesses is high compared to other business startups. As women join and leave the military in ever-greater numbers, female vets are a growing segment of the small-business community. With their targeted training and support, women vets are starting new businesses in fields ranging from IT and cybersecurity to marketing and home organizing. Female vets also have access to targeted funding sources: The SBAs Patriot Express Pilot Initiative offers fast-track funding to vets who want to establish or expand small businesses. There are also state-level initiatives like the Employ Illinois - Military Reserve Loan. Using Business.gov, vets can also identify grants available through the federal government.
