About 12.2% of all businesses were veteran owned Advocacy estimates that there were about 29.6 million business in the U.S. in 2009. If the 12.2% of veteran ownership in 2002 remained true in 2009, an estimate of 3.6 million veteran owned firms would result, of which perhaps 250,000 were owned by service disabled veterans.
