The Veterans Administration is near releasing a new phase of GI Bill loans to veterans seeking to start private enterprises. Loans are guaranteed by the government for up to half the amount, up to 4000 dollars, with the borrower providing the rest.

The lender may be a bank, savings and loan, insurer, private investor, or a business owner selling out. The program involves significant safeguarding to protect both the veteran and Uncle Sam.
