SBA Announces New Funding to Expand Veterans Business Owner Outreach in Okla.

Thursday, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced a new funding opportunity for up to $400,000 to be awarded to up to 12 entities including private organizations, colleges and universities, private sector firms, nonprofit organizations and state, local or tribal governmental agencies to provide critical training and counseling to aspiring and existing veteran small business owners as a Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC). The news comes ahead of Nations Veterans Small Business Week 2022, one of the Agency’s flagship events, taking place October 31 – November 4, that will put the spotlight on one of the Biden-Harris Administration’s priorities – supporting our servicemembers, veterans, and their families at every stage of the entrepreneurial journey.
