VOSB/SDVOSB Certification Readiness Checklist

Score your firm against the SBA rules in 18 checks and leave with a fix list before you apply.

Run your pre-combat checks before you apply

You ran pre-combat checks before every mission. This module gives you the same check for SBA veteran certification. You answer 18 questions against the federal rule, get a readiness score and leave with a fix list before you apply.


The SBA judges your VetCert application on the documents you upload. It presumes missing or incomplete information shows you are not eligible and denies the application. A denial starts a 90-day wait before you reapply. This checklist finds the gaps before the SBA does.


In 4 video lessons, you learn to:

• Confirm veteran status and residency for each veteran counted toward the 51 percent.

• Test ownership: direct ownership, each class of interest, profit distributions and your governing documents.

• Test control: the top officer post, management, supermajority votes, a full-time schedule, pay and outside control.

• Check size and federal standing: SAM.gov status, size standards, exclusions and federal debt.

• Score your firm out of 18 and choose your path: apply, fix first or get help.


What you get:

• 4 captioned video lessons, 10 minutes in all

• The interactive readiness checklist with your score and fix list. Type your answers in your browser or print them.

• Chapter 1 free to watch before you buy

Know your score before the SBA does

Each of the 18 checks maps to a section of the federal rule, 13 CFR Part 128. Answer each one with your operating agreement or bylaws, stock ledger, SAM.gov record and VA letters open. Apply after you score 18 of 18.


Check 15 requires an active SAM.gov registration. If your record is not active, start with SAM Registration Blueprint.


Next step: Business Operational Battle Rhythm sets a weekly cadence to run the business you registered and prepared.


The SBA charges nothing to apply for VetCert. This checklist is for preparation and education. It is not legal advice and does not guarantee certification or contract awards. The SBA makes every certification decision. VERC is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense, the SBA, the VA or any government agency.
