As a United States Veteran who owns a business, a Veteran-Owned Business Certification will give you the advantage necessary to sell to government agencies at the Federal, State, and Local level. Additionally, you will receive access to millions of dollars of federal spending set aside expressly for VOSB Certified entities.
To give profound thanks to Veterans in the United States, Federal and State governments hope to provide extensive support and assistance for their outstanding duty in keeping the country safe. This led the U.S. Government to certify Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and help them reach success within their industry.
Programs such as the Vets First Verification Program give your company the status of being “Veteran-Owned Small Business Certified.” Not only does this help you succeed in Government areas, but it will also help you increase yearly revenue, be seen by more consumers, receive national recognition, and expand your company for the future.
This article will dissect the different types of Veteran-Owned Business Certifications at the Federal, State, and Local levels and how they help your entity succeed in a demanding environment.

Veterans owning small businesses willing to research and complete the lengthy certification process may do so independently. You can file for a Federal Veteran-Owned Business status through the SBA.
Both Federal and State Certifications require an incredible amount of information, and it all must be flawlessly collected. However, if you submit your certification applications with errors, you may have to restart the registration process entirely under even more complicated guidelines.

To get your business certified as a Veteran-Owned or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned firm, you must use the Vets First Verification Program through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 gave the VA a unique opportunity to assist the nation’s veterans through procurement of VOSB/SDVOSB set-asides and contracts. With that opportunity, the VFV Program was born.
This program affords verified firms owned and controlled by Veterans the opportunity to compete for VA set-asides. It was put in place to check the eligibility, ownership status, and control of Veteran-Owned Small Businesses throughout the United States.
This means businesses just like yours who can prove Veteran-Owned status will be put to the top of the line to compete for Government Contracts worth millions.
