I would suggest looking south of the border. They have taken steps in that regard, with SBA-backed loans for up to $5 million U.S. to acquire small businesses, with up to 90% LTV. At a federal level, it's basically facilitating transfer from one generation to another by making lending accessible. Also, the VA loan specifically is being used by a lot of veterans there for launching real estate businesses. Those are two methods that I know of in terms of making it financially accessible.
Also, it's not done by the government, but there are organizations in the States that put in those transitioning veterans, such as a pilot officer, as an operator in a business. It could be a CEO position. They get a bit of equity. They buy in. They maybe don't buy the whole business—there are some investors behind them—but they're capable operators. They can lead. They can build a team and be in charge of that business.
