Boots to Business is a three-step training program developed to introduce and train transitioning service members to business ownership. Boots to Business helps ensure that every transitioning service member has access to a standardized entrepreneurship training track and small business resources in their local communities.
In an effort to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit in our servicemembers, the President launched Boots to Business – an intensive entrepreneurship education program for transitioning service members to learn how to start a small business. Boots to Business is delivered by the Small Business Administration and to date has trained more than 6,000 transitioning servicemembers on how to start a business. The training also includes information regarding the network of available resources, such as access to capital.
