grants for veteran owned business

Become a certified veteran-owned small business and gain access to federal and state funding to help you grow.

We guarantee to get your business certified as a VOB or SDVOSB with the federal government or your money back.

The federal government awarded 550,000 contracts worth $147 billion last year to veteran-owned small businesses, so being recognised and certified is paramount.

Starting a business can be daunting and while there are a number of revenue channels and support resources available to veteran-owned businesses it can be a challenge to identify exactly which opportunities are out there. Without the applicable certifications, a business will limit its ability to win certain bids and reduce its visibility in acquiring funds set aside specifically for veteran-owned businesses.
