Self-Employment Q and A: Disabled Veterans and Self-Employment
According to the Small Business Administrations’ (SBA’s) Office of Veterans Business Development, the number of veteran-owned businesses stands at more than 4-million. However, service-disabled veterans are self-employed at a rate significantly lower than the veteran population as a whole, according to a study released by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The needs and challenges experienced by veterans with disabilities often require a different and innovative mode of self-employment structure, management, marketing, and operations than those experienced by other individuals with disabilities.
