COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Mt. Carmel Veterans Center was chosen to create a center to help veteran entrepreneurs.
The new center, called “Boots to Business,” is aimed at providing business assistance and training for veteran-owned businesses through the State of Colorado.
According to officials, the Small Business Administration’s Veteran Business Outreach Center at Mt Carmel is the only one of its kind in Colorado.
Colorado has more than 48,000 veteran-owned businesses that provide $23 billion to the state economy and employ almost 97,000 Coloradans.
This new center will be a resource for all of those businesses and make it easier for people to transition out of military life.
The center will also provide other programs and access to small business resources for veterans. It will also work closely with the Pikes Peak Small Business Development Center.
