Benefits You Should Know: Veteran Small Business Certification
Are you a Veteran business owner interested in government contracting?
The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Veteran Small Business Certification, often called VetCert, may help eligible Veteran-owned and service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses compete for certain government contracting opportunities.
A few things to know:
• This is for eligible Veteran-owned small businesses
• Service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses may qualify for additional federal contracting opportunities
• Certified Veteran-owned businesses may also have opportunities through VA’s Vets First program
• Certification does not guarantee contracts
• Business owners should get guidance before investing time or money into government contracting
This will not apply to every Veteran, but for Veteran business owners, it may be worth researching.
A good place to start is SBA’s VetCert information. Minnesota business owners can also contact the Minnesota APEX Accelerator for help understanding government contracting, registrations, certifications, and next steps.
