Military Spouse Entrepreneurship Act of 2023
This bill requires the Small Business Administration to create or expand a program specifically helping military spouses start and grow small businesses. It provides tailored support like mentorship, training on business operations, and assistance navigating military-related disruptions (such as frequent relocations, deployments, or military absences). The SBA must conduct a survey at military installations to identify barriers military spouses face - like access to capital - and submit a report to Congress within 180 days. The program aims to make entrepreneurship resources more accessible to military spouses dealing with unique military lifestyle challenges.
