About Boots to Business
Boots to Business is a two-step training program that provides participants an overview of business ownership as a career vocation, an outline and knowledge on the components of a business plan, a practical exercise in opportunity recognition, and an introduction to available public and private sector resources.

Step one is the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course eligible to Veterans of all eras, service members (including members of the National Guard and Reserve) and their spouses. This course is instructed by SBA and its partners, who are skilled business advisers.

Step two is the follow-on Foundations of Entrepreneurship course instructed by a consortium of professors and skilled business advisers from the SBA Network. Please email boots-to-business@sba.gov if you've already attended Boots to Business and wish to sign-up.
