You should outsource all those departments you listed : HR, Accounting, and IT. There is no benefit to you as the employer to hire people for these posts when outsourced resources can do it better and cheaper.

Have you written a business plan that describes in detail all the moving parts of this business ?

Hi John,

Recruiting candidates for your business is tough these days. I recommend reaching out to people you already know. If you don't have anyone specifically in mind, make sure the people you know ask their network of connections. The best way to find candidates for your business is to ask your network of friends or a friends extend network. Feel free to reach out directly.

Best,

Aaron

The enclosed is general advice, clearing the brush, for your planned business.

1) If you can manage no costs, no loans, taking longer to develop into higher functions, I find this rewards you, makes you hungry, and life has a way of bringing clientele to you. Notice we bus kids to school, immobilize them in a square meter or so, funnelled to the attention of just one teacher, approximately. Now, there are greater facilities if kids teleconferenced from home, leaving school facilities able to specialize instead. See?

2) It is often noted we all tend to conceal our weaknesses, even a dog with a broken leg, upon gaining a scent of the Veterinarian Hospital, may act like its leg is not broken. This is nature. I think helping veterans most powerfully derives from getting the clients to trust you with what their real problems are. I recall (post service, spinal cord injury) not understanding basics of civilian (including Veterans Administration) dynamics, years passed, my thinking it was necessary to conceal injury to get help for injury. Instead, a careful use of words was key, the manner, mannerisms, tact, won the battles. No need to hide.

3) If you are helping veterans, it is likely they need help of some kind, or would not seek you. The tendency of warriors is to not let on they have challenges, but in so doing, the legal rights, pathways, somewhat fair laws (not so much the process) fade and weaken in just months or a year or few, therefore, if the veterans need a nudge verbally to pursue, get their foot in the door, to preserve and invoke their V.A. benefits for disability, even if they are unsure if they are disabled at all, the greatest good is to NOT help them get past a few months, or a year, but to get them to apply. We have a wonderful nation, which provides various services and benefits. Get the vet to establish the continuity post service with the help, aid, massive financial power, of the federal government. Caveat. It is not easy, it can hurt your heart (spirit) to participate, the national challenges also are reflected in Veterans Administration experiences. I would be neglectful to not point out do not use a Patient Representative from the V.A. for your help, get one of the private VSO (Veteran Service Organizations) which specialize in helping apply, argue, corroborate, obtain, the deserved benefits. You do not take your car to the mechanic who may have broken it to get a fair judgement of what was done to break it. It is plain the first, evidently, only, move by V.A. when asking for benefits formally is say ...No.. (denial decision) therefore, each claim becomes an uphill battle from the start, human sensibilities being what they are.

If you wish for more support in the vein of the enclosed answer, please do inquire, I have a comprehensive, simple, methodology to wage the hardest battle (for some) in obtaining the mentioned benefits. Love the sinner, hate the sin means, to me, be kind to every dang human no matter what, note, guard against, then avoid, the errors they may create.

More directly, these same, mentioned, private veterans groups variously may be able to assist you more directly with your business. DAV had muscle. PVA had some real, specialized, awareness of SCI (Spinal Cord Injury and dysfunction). I noticed a high likelihood of an unvarnished reply, guidance, from these two groups.
