Veterans in Cuyahoga, Franklin, Allen, Jefferson, Tuscarawas, and Ross Counties Are Pursuing Their American Dream Owning A Small Business

Over the course of their career, veterans accumulate an array of skills, knowledge, and other expertise during their service that can translate seamlessly to working in a business environment. Our veterans also have a sense of duty to their country and a desire to give back to their communities. Many veterans start their own businesses to serve their community, work independently, put their skills to work, and provide for their family. Click below to learn about a few Ohio Veterans who decided to embrace their experience and share their passion and work ethic with others.

“My office is the gateway to new business in Ohio and we provide multiple resources to veterans who are interested in becoming entrepreneurs with their unique skillsets,” said LaRose. “As a veteran myself, I am always inspired, but never surprised, by other veterans who are ready to begin a new mission in life by being a small business owner.”
