If you have a THRIFT plan, there are some companies that can help you with leveraging those funds to help fund a business. Guidant Financial is one and the site is: https://www.guidantfinancial.com/new-partner/global-franchise-consultants/
They can also help you with pre-qualifying for a SBA loan or explore other funding options that may be available.

Hi Joshua,
The SBA is a great source for starting a business. What is important is finding exactly what you want to do and use your energy in that direction.

I have some assessment tools that would help.

Again, I don't charge for military.
