Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages do veteran-owned businesses have for grants?
Veterans qualify for SDVOSB set-aside contracts, SBA Boots to Business training, Veteran Business Outreach Centers, and specific grant programs from foundations like the StreetShares Foundation and Hivers & Strivers. Many grant programs give preference to veteran applicants.
Do military spouses qualify for veteran business grants?
Some programs specifically include military spouses. The SBA's Boots to Business REBOOT serves spouses, and programs like the Rosie Network and Blue Star Families support military spouse entrepreneurship. However, most SDVOSB-specific benefits require the veteran to be the primary owner.
How do I get SDVOSB certification?
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification is now managed by the SBA (previously VA). Apply through the SBA's VetCert portal. You need to demonstrate service-connected disability, 51%+ ownership by the veteran, and daily management control. Certification opens access to government contract set-asides and many grant programs.
