The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrates, connects, and empowers service member (including National Guard and Reserve), veteran, and military spouse entrepreneurs and business owners – past, present, and future – during National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW).
NVSBW 2020 will take place on November 2-6, 2020. As always, the goal is to raise awareness of veteran small business ownership and encourage communities to support their veteran- and military-owned businesses. This year offers an important opportunity to support our veteran and military small business community as they adapt, pivot, and face hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic.
