ALLOW US TO REINTRODUCE OURSELVES!
UTAVBOC serves as the SBA resource for veteran entrepreneurs in North Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
DYK? Veterans are 45 percent more likely to be self-employed than non-veterans. As such, the 2020 Census shows that nearly 9 percent of all U.S. small businesses are veteran-owned. These Veteran-owned small businesses generate almost $1 trillion in annual sales, and employ almost 5 million workers with more than $190 billion in annual payroll.
Since our inception in 2016, UTAVBOC has provided more than 2,700 hours of technical assistance to 2,100 military connected small businesses and has reached more than 15,600 military connected entrepreneurs through the Boots 2 Business and Reboot workshops, Third Thursday Think Tank mastermind webinars and almost 200 outreach events including our annual Business Beyond the Battlefield Conference.
