BUY. OPERATE. SELL. OWN YOUR NEXT MISSION.

Owners In Honor™ helps veterans and military families become small business owners by guiding you through the full journey of buying, operating, and selling an existing business (not starting from scratch).

I Want to Buy a Business

I Need Help Operating

I’m Ready to Sell My Business

A nonprofit, built to help America’s service-connected families

step into ownership and keep local businesses alive.

We’ve watched veterans with enormous potential feel like they’re back at zero.
We’ve watched business owners carry the weight of a life’s work and wonder if it ends with them.

You shouldn’t have to guess your way through the biggest financial and life transition you’ll ever make.

So we built a better way:
A clearer path to buy, operate, and sell a business backed by people who know what responsibility feels like.

WE UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE OF “STARTING OVER.”

OWNERSHIP MADE SIMPLE:

BUY. OPERATE. SELL. BUILD YOUR LEGACY.

What Owners In Honor™ does

We help veterans, military spouses, and Gold Star families do something powerful:

We help you buy an existing small business…

So you can step into ownership faster without the high failure risk of starting from scratch.

…operate it with real support…

So you’re not carrying decisions, challenges, and growth alone.

…and sell it when the time is right.

So your ownership creates a true legacy: financially, personally, and for your family.

In one sentence:
We help military-connected leaders buy, operate, and sell small businesses with training, coaching, and a mission-driven support network.

LEARN. CONNECT.
MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.

Events are where clarity happens and next steps get real.

THIS MISSION IS BIGGER THAN ONE ORGANIZATION.

We’re able to serve because community partners and sponsors step in with expertise, access, and fuel.

REAL STORIES.
REAL OWNERSHIP. REAL LEGACY.

"Owners In Honor™ creates a pathway for veterans, especially those from Special Operations, to transition into business ownership. The program pairs you with advisors, resources, and ongoing support—guiding you from search to success and helping you build a lasting legacy."

Nicholas Bellenbaum

"I chose to get involved with Owners In Honor™ because it was the best option for learning how to buy a company as I transitioned out of the Army. The mission is profoundly personal—it offers veterans like me a chance at the American dream we helped defend. Owners In Honor™ anticipated needs I didn’t even know I’d have, and their support kept my acquisition deal from falling through multiple times. They provide purpose, community, and the reassurance that we’re not alone in this journey."
