Ask Grok: What can a Veteran do after losing his job to get a loan to start a business? There's too much to list... Contact a Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) first—they provide free one-on-one counseling, help write/refine your business plan, and connect you to lenders. There are multiple VBOCs nationwide. SBA.gov . Boots to Business offers free entrepreneurship training (great for beginners post-layoff). Core 7(a) and others remain active with veteran perks.

Maybe reach out to manufactures of the equipment you need and ask for a donation of equipment. Great PR for them - helping Veterans get back on their feet. Here's a list of companies that do this. Manufacturers & Companies with Equipment Support/Discounts Veteran History These often provide discounts (10% military) or donate tools/equipment through partnerships, foundations, or local dealer programs. Useful for purchasing or supplementing grants. The Toro Company — Landscape-specific equipment (mowers, trimmers, snow equipment). Has an Equipment Donation Program (mainly nonprofits/municipalities) and "American Hero" military discount program. Underwrites veteran lawn service programs like GreenCare for Troops. Strong history in veteran/landscaping support. Check local dealers for promos DEWALT (Stanley Black & Decker) — Power tools ideal for handyman/landscaping. "Grow the Trades" initiative includes tool donations, grants, and scholarships (focuses on veterans/trades training). $60M commitment by 2030; has awarded millions in tools/grants. Military discounts available via retailers. STIHL, Husqvarna, John Deere, ECHO — Outdoor power equipment (chainsaws, mowers, trimmers) perfect for landscaping. All offer military/first responder discounts (10% typical) and have histories of donating equipment to veteran groups (e.g., STIHL to Team Rubicon/Wounded Warrior projects; Toro/John Deere community giving). Contact local dealers for veteran programs or bulk startup deals. Home Depot & Lowe’s — 10% military/veteran discount on tools/equipment (register via their sites). Home Depot Foundation has invested $650M in veteran causes (housing/repairs, but supports trades via Path to Pro). Local stores or foundations sometimes partner for veteran business tool support. Strong veteran hiring and supplier. Government & Surplus Programs (Low/No-Cost Equipment) DOD/GSA Surplus Property Program (via SBA/DLA): Veteran-owned small businesses can access excess military equipment/vehicles/tools at low or no cost through state agencies or SBA set-asides. WVFV often assists. Eligibility: SBA-certified veteran/small business. How: Contact your local SBA Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) Additional strong options for cash grants usable for equipment: Warrior Rising (startup grants in-kind "Business Shower" support; warriorrising.org), Hiring Our Heroes Small Business Grant ($10k–$25k), and Second Service Foundation Military Entrepreneur Challenge ($4k–$15k). These have helped hundreds of veteran businesses buy tools/gear.warriorrising.org 1 Recommendations: Start with WVFV (most direct equipment fit) and REAch/Tools4Troops if eligible. Combine with manufacturer discounts for the rest. Your veteran friend should verify VA benefits (e.g., Veteran Readiness & Employment may fund equipment for self-employment plans) and reach out to a local VBOC for free counseling. Many require proof of veteran status and a solid business plan. Can't hurt to ask.
