Jovita Carranza
Honoring Our Nations Heroes During National Veterans Small Business Week

*By SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza*

Resilience, poise, adaptability not only do these traits define our Nations service members, veterans, and military spouses, but they are also critical ingredients for successful entrepreneurs. At the U.S. Small Business Administration, we recognize the value the military community brings to our great country through their service in the armed forces and as small business owners who contribute more than $1 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy on an annual basis.

Our duty as an agency is to ensure these entrepreneurs are empowered and celebrated at every stage of business ownership. The SBA uses National Veterans Small Business WeekNov. 2 through Nov. 6to do just that.
