Employment
Here are a few considerations:
> There are significant tax benefits to owning your own business, so
even if you go to college and get a full-time job, it is highly recommended that
you own a business on the side.
> Products or services that are bought and sold by Veterans are often
given preference in many supply and distribution channels.
> Self-employed decreases the threat of being discriminated against.
> Statistically, only 1 of 10 small businesses survive past the first
year, so having multiple forms of income will help hedge your downside risk.
> Gaining a sense of accomplishment, as well as providing employment
for others are great motivators for starting your own business.
My experience - started 4 small business, owned 2 with business partners, planning to start another with a buddy, soon. I've enjoyed tremendous tax benefits from decreasing my taxable income from a six-figure, full-time job. Starting your own business is a great way to continue developing leadership skills, as well as continue learning and growing.
RallyPoint now has a new pilot program aimed at helping veterans become franchise business owners. RP has partnered with some of the franchises that are best known for supporting vets and you should check a few of them out here:
