Description:
|
Every year, 200,000 veterans transition from active duty service. 9.1% of all business in the United States are veteran owned, while veterans make up only 7.6% of the population as a whole. As part of our path to form a non-profit organization to help veterans interested in started new businesses, we need to assess two specific criteria. The first is primary market research to identify how we can best serve the veteran community. The second is the viability of ideas presented to us from future veteran business owners |
