In 2003 congress passed the Veterans Benefits Act to jumpstart supplier networks across the nation, and give Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs) the room they need to thrive amongst the larger corporations in their field.
Or in franker terms, Certified Veterans have earned themselves the right to enjoy exclusive contracting opportunities which are restricted from the rest of their competition.
For reference: In 2018, the federal government put $560 billion into annual contract spending alone. 26% of those contracts were legally reserved for VOSBs, with 3% more available for Veteran Owned Small Businesses at a total of 29%.
When you do the math, that translates to between $145 and $173 billion in contract work last year — and all that Qualified Businesses need to do to take part in these lucrative contracts is get registered as a VOSB.
To access VOSB contracts, businesses first need to endure a complex registration process with the Federal Government, where the difference between contract approval and denial often come down to the tiniest errors.
The full registration process takes between roughly 20 – 40 hours of clerical labor to complete, not including the follow-up work of renewals, supplying business updates, and more.

Veterans who want to take the time to file for themselves by learning the ins-and-outs of the application process may DIY at SBA.gov.
But keep in mind, the federal government requires a lot of information to certify your business, and it all needs to be submitted in the right way.
If registration is not completed perfectly the first time around, veterans might find themselves going through the entire lengthy process again under harsher guidelines. Even worse, if veterans do manage to get approved despite some accidental filing mistakes, those errors can go on to create payment problems and limit their ability to win future contracts.
