More small-business help for military spouses

If enacted, the SBA would set up a program to help military spouses start, run, and grow small businesses. The program would include remotely accessible online services, help understanding formation and operating rules, and help relocating business operations. It would offer training tailored to challenges from deployments, long absences, and frequent moves. The program would provide mentorship through partnerships or cooperative agreements with nonprofit and volunteer organizations. The SBA could also extend an existing SBA program instead of creating a new one if it meets these rules. The SBA would conduct a survey of barriers, report results to the House and Senate small business committees not later than 180 days after enactment, and use the findings to guide outreach.
