How to Find a Veteran Owned Business

Support veterans by shopping veteran-owned businesses.

Whether you're a veteran yourself or just want to support those who served in the military, shopping at veteran-owned businesses is a great way to do your part. Although it may not be obvious whether a business is owned by a veteran, it's easier than you think to find veteran-owned companies.

Instructions

1. Visit the Center for Veterans Enterprise Web Portal of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
