Description
• Returning veterans present a strategic hiring advantage.
• Coupled with various federal incentive programs, stemming from The Veterans Opportunity to Work to Hire Heroes Act, firms that hire veterans may be eligible for various tax credits.
• Veterans wanting to start or grow their businesses have various resources available to aid them in the process, such as business consulting.
• For additional resources for Veterans, visit Small Business Association Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) at www.socalvboc.org.
