Veteran's Small Business Month celebrates the resilience and contributions of veteran-owned businesses in our communities. This month highlights the achievements and unique challenges faced by veteran entrepreneurs, encouraging support and investment in their continued success. SCORE is dedicated to helping veterans thrive by offering mentorship, resources, and guidance to support veteran-owned businesses. Explore our Veteran Entrepreneurs Hub for resources and webinars tailored to the needs of veterans in business.

With SCORE’s support, veteran entrepreneurs like Jackson Dalton, owner of Black Box Safety, have been able to make a difference. "My Mentor, Joe, provided a thorough review of my business plan and encouraged me. He helped me identify gaps and held me accountable for my business plan. Joe was someone who I could check in with in order to keep me on track. There’s nothing to think about. The sooner you reach out to SCORE the better."
