READY TO BACK SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY BUILDS?

Every week, over 10,000 small businesses shut their doors. Not because they failed, but because no one was there to take over.

At the same time, 200,000+ Veterans, Military Spouses, and Gold Star family members transition into civilian life—packed with leadership, discipline, and grit, but locked out of ownership due to capital gaps, complexity, and lack of access.

That’s where you come in.

Owners In Honor™ bridges the gap between the small businesses at risk and the veteran-connected leaders ready to take command.

WHY PARTNERS MATTER

Your sponsorship or in-kind support doesn’t just help someone start a business.

It preserves legacies, sustains jobs, and launches new missions.

Veterans trained through Owners In Honor™:

Are 2x more likely to create jobs within 12 months of acquiring a business
Are 3x more likely to remain and reinvest in the communities they serve
Can generate $250,000 to over $1 million in annual economic output per business
