What Veterans Should Know About Starting a Small Business
Happy Small Business Week to my fellow veterans. It’s Veteran’s Small Business Week across the country. If you want to start a business, there’s a lot to know beyond your craft or the thing you are selling. Lack of knowledge can hurt your businesses financially.
In this episode, Will Scott breaks down the things transition veterans can do to start a small business, how to get money to start your business, resources and tools you can use plus missteps to avoid along the way.
Will is the Vice President of Business Solutions at Navy Federal Credit Union. He has over two decades of business solutions expertise from super-regional banks and major metropolitan credit unions across the country.
