Are you a business owner who has served in the United States Military?

As a veteran-owned business you may qualify for certifications that give you a leg up in the government marketplace and increase your chances of winning more contracts!

Getting certified allows your veteran-owned business to compete for special “set-aside” contracts with limited competition. These certifications include Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) with the State of California, and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) with the U.S. federal government.

Webinar Topics Include:

  • Overview of NorCal VBOC
  • What are government certifications?
  • Advantages and disadvantages of being certified
  • Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certification
  • Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB/ SDVOSB) certification
  • How to utilize Veteran Business Outreach Center resources
