“We created Operation Boots to Business to reach out to service members and give them nuts and bolts of how to do business and grow a business,” said Rhett Jeppson, SBA official, in an SBA statement.
Operation Boots to Business builds on Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families and provides training materials specifically geared towards transitioning service members. Syracuse has three veteran business programs through their partnership with SBA.

The program takes veterans step by step to becoming entrepreneurs. Once signed up, the program includes in-person classes and an in-depth online entrepreneurship course that leads to the creation of a business plan.
