A complete, no-BS playbook for veterans who want to start their own business — not just get a civilian job. Covers everything from validating your idea and securing funding ($4.8B in veteran grants go unclaimed every year) to writing a business plan using the OPORD format you already know, getting SDVOSB certified, winning government contracts, and building your brand. Includes the complete veteran funding directory, OPLAN-to-business-plan template, startup cost calculator, government contracting checklist, and a 12-month launch timeline. Built by veterans, for veterans.
