SBA Veteran Small Business Certification

Certification opens qualifying veteran contracting opportunities.

Who may qualify

Small-business size, veteran recognition and at least 51% qualifying ownership/control apply. SDVOSB status also requires qualifying service disability; certification is not a contract award.

What to check next

Review ownership, control, size and SAM requirements before applying.

Agencies decide eligibility. This independent summary is a starting point, not an entitlement decision.

Who built this

Built and reviewed by Nathan Harlan, a U.S. Army Infantry veteran with 15 years of service, including two combat deployments to Iraq, and the founder of Ironsight Syndicate, a veteran-owned brand. I built this because finding the right benefits shouldn't take a law degree. This is an independent guide, not VA-accredited claims representation. For claims help, use a VA-accredited representative.
