Most veterans are from the Gulf War era, and nearly 73 percent are aged 50+. Veterans only account for roughly seven percent of the current population. In 1980, the percentage reached 18 percent of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the adjustment period for veterans re-entering civilian life can be challenging. Roughly 48 percent of post-9\/11 veterans said that readjusting to civilian life <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2019\/09\/10\/readjusting-to-civilian-life\/#:~:text=About%20half%20of%20post%2D9,or%20very%20(4%25)%20difficult.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">was either somewhat (32 percent) or very (16 percent) difficult for them<\/a>.

Converting war-time skills into peace-team jobs in the private sector doesn\u2019t always work. But in typical military fashion: when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Fortunately for veteran entrepreneurs, their service to their country has earned them an additional step up from the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/290929\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of business financing options are available exclusively for veteran business owners<\/a>. Using these services is easy to secure the funding you need to start your veteran-owned small business plan. Even better, they typically come with the least amount of strings attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best places to start your search for financial aid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/small-business-administration.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">is the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)<\/a>. Several types of business loan options are aimed at helping veteran small business owners. However, the best one of these programs is easily the SBA Veterans Advantage Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SBA offers all small-business owners and entrepreneurs a business loan called the SBA 7(a). The Obama administration initiated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/obama-signs-veterans-affairs-overhaul-bill-1407431281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Veterans Advantage Program in 2014<\/a> to offer fee relief for veterans seeking this type of loan application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is only available for active duty military service members, honorably discharged veterans, service-disabled veterans, reservists, or the spouse\/widow of any veteran meeting the previous criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary benefit of the Veterans Advantage Program is that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba7a.loans\/sba-7a-loans-small-business-blog\/sba-veterans-advantage-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">can significantly reduce the upfront guaranty fees of loans<\/a>. The exact discount will depend on the amount of the loan and a few other factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Any loan that\u2019s $150,000 or less or an SBA Express Loan will have a guarantee fee of $0.<\/li><li>Any non-SBA Express Loan between $150,001 and $500,000 will be 50 percent less than the guarantee fee for non-veteran-owned businesses. Loans with a maturity over 12 months will have a 1.5 percent fee of the guaranteed portion, and loans with a maturity of fewer than 12 months will have a 0.125 percent fee.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Any loan between $500,001 and $700,000 with a maturity over 12 months will have a guarantee fee of 3 percent.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Any loan between $700,001 and $1,000,000 with a maturity over 12 months will have a guarantee fee of 3.5 percent.<\/li><li>Any loan between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 with a maturity over 12 months will have a guarantee fee of 3.75 percent.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Any loan that\u2019s between $500,001 and $5,000,000 with a maturity of fewer than 12 months will have a guarantee fee of 0.25 percent.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-4-best-small-business-loans-for-veterans\"><strong>The 4 best small business loans for veterans:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Veterans Advantage Program mentioned above, you\u2019ll also have the option of taking out specialized business loans. Many traditional banks and credit unions offer small business loans crafted explicitly for veterans. These are the best four business loan programs currently available to veteran borrowers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-1 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">1<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"navy-federal-credit-union\">Navy Federal Credit Union<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Navy-federal-logo.png\" alt=\"Navy federal logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.navyfederal.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On Navy Federal&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navyfederal.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Navy Federal Credit Union<\/a> has particular eligibility requirements that must be met before you can join.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must meet one of the following criteria:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Be an active duty service member (in the armed forces, be a National Guard member, or have ties to the Department of Defense in the federal government)<\/li><li>Be a veteran of any of these services<\/li><li>Have an immediate family member with a Navy Federal membership<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once accepted, you\u2019ll be a member of the Navy Federal Credit Union for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran business loans available through the Navy Federal Credit Union can be used for purchasing equipment, vehicles, cash flow, business resources, or as working capital. The loans typically have a cap of $100,00, term limits of five years, and come with an average annual percentage rate between 11 percent and 18 percent. Alternatively, you could open a business line of credit if you prefer revolving credit instead of a standard loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Navy Federal Credit Union doesn\u2019t list any specific requirements for gross annual revenue. However, they will request to see that you have a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 or higher, one full year of registered business operations, and a credit score of 650 or higher.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-2 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">2<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"union-bank\">Union Bank<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Union-bank-logo.png\" alt=\"Union bank logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unionbank.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On Union Bank&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unionbank.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Union Bank<\/a> has one of the most lenient requirements for veteran-owned business owners to receive a bank loan.

The goal of this program was to help veterans receive the funding they need to start and grow their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loan size of a Union Bank business loan can reach as high as $1 million, but any application over $250,000 will take much longer to process. These loans are secured or unsecured and come with terms lasting between 18 and 84 months. The interest rates for these loans are determined case-by-case and can vary significantly between applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The qualifications for a Union Bank business loan include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An open Union Bank business bank account<\/li><li>An in-person visit with a local branch to determine eligibility<\/li><li>A veteran must own at least 51 percent of the business<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-3 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">3<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"accion\">Accion<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Accion-logo.png\" alt=\"Accion logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accion.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On Accion&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accion.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Accion<\/a> is a small business microloan lender that specializes in loans for startups and established businesses.
