A VOSB (Veteran-Owned Small Business) certification can offer various benefits to businesses owned and operated by veterans. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Access to Government Contracts: One of the primary benefits of VOSB certification is the increased access to government contracts. Federal agencies, as well as some state and local governments, may have set-aside contracts or procurement goals specifically for businesses owned by veterans.
2. Competitive Edge: VOSB certification can provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Some clients, including government agencies and private sector companies, may prioritize working with businesses that have obtained this certification as part of their commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises.
3. VOSB Advantages at VA: Additional opportunities for sole-source and set-aside contracts within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
4. SDVOSB Certification Perks: Access to federal sole-source and set-aside contracts across various government agencies.
5. Enhanced Visibility for VOSBs: Higher likelihood of being approached for “no-bid” contracts under $25,000. Large firms bidding on government contracts in excess of $750,000 must provide an allocation for VOSB firm participation as part of the contract. Therefore, having a VOSB certification allows for these subcontracting opportunities
