When we first built SUH back in 2013, we never truly knew the impact it would go on to have.
Now, 13 years on, and bigger and better as part of X-Forces Enterprise, we’re able to support even more military partners to reach their potential and build a legacy for themselves and their families.

Dreaming of being your own BOSS?
We’ve recently evolved our Supporting the Unsung Hero (SUH) programme to better support Forces partners who are exploring self employment or developing a business idea. The programme now follows a clear, two stage journey designed to build confidence, understanding, and practical skills at every step. So if your just thinking about being your own boss, then this is good place to start.

Military life brings unique challenges, but it also builds resilience, adaptability and strength.

If you’re a military partner or spouse considering business ownership, our 1‑Day Business Awareness Workshop will help you explore what’s possible, what’s realistic, and what’s right for you.

You’ll leave with:
💡 Clear insight into self‑employment
💡 Practical next steps
💡 Confidence to make informed decisions
💡 Access to a community that understands military life

Start your business journey with support behind you.
