According to Guzman, the objective of these events is two-fold. First, the SBA seeks to educate veterans on the \u201cextensive\u201d opportunities the organization has for veterans to access capital, a key to starting a business. Additionally, Guzman said that the SBA seeks to plug veterans into networks that are key to supporting their business ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSpecifically, the networks are using what\u2019s key to building those bridges to those resources,\u201d Guzman said. \u201cAnd making sure that the businesses are positioned and ready to get capital or to or to get those opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integral to building these networks, according to Guzman, are 22 Veterans Business Outreach Centers, which spread across the nation at a mixture of military installations and universities. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/local-assistance\/resource-partners\/veterans-business-outreach-center-vboc-program\" target=\"_blank\">SBA<\/a>, VBOCs offer entrepreneurial development services such as business training, counseling, and resource partner referrals to transitioning service members, veterans, National Guard &amp; Reserve members, and military spouses interested in starting or growing a small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, VBOCs offer a specialized program to transitioning service members called \u201cBoots to Business.\u201d Since its <a href=\"https:\/\/sbavets.force.com\/s\/\" target=\"_blank\">establishment<\/a> in 2013, Boots to Business has trained and graduated more than 143,955 service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to make sure that veterans know there are customized programs that will support them,\u201d Guzman said. \u201cIn understanding their unique journey and unique skill sets to be able to leverage that for an entrepreneurial dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guzman also highlighted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/partners\/counselors\/community-navigator-pilot-program\" target=\"_blank\">pilot<\/a> Community Navigator program that seeks to elevate aspiring entrepreneurs in underserved communities by connecting them with targeted local assistance. The program includes financial aid, capital access, guidance regarding contracting and procurement, marketing assistance, and industry-specific training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Community Navigator pilot program is an SBA-wide initiative seeking to connect under-served communities writ large, Guzman said that the SBA has recently opened a specific community navigation center at Syracuse University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat SBA is trying to do is build up a comprehensive set of resources,\u201d Guzman said. \u201cTo really help power all of our entrepreneurs and level the playing field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While NVSBW ends on Friday, Guzman and the SBA want veterans to know that programs to enable their success in the private sector are available year-round and exist to empower them as they embark on their journey into the civilian world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s a front door to endless resources for entrepreneurs, more customized through the lens of a veteran\u2019s perspective,\u201d Guzman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a veteran seeking to start your own business, Guzman said to head to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sba.gov\/\">www.sba.gov<\/a> to check out tools available and begin the process of being connected to programs and opportunities in your area.
