What exactly does it mean to be a Certified Veteran Owned Small Business? The business must complete a formal verification process through The Veterans Administration, but it's not enough for a Veteran to be an owner in name only.

The Veteran must:

  • own at least 51 percent of the company when applying for certification, and

  • be in control of management and day-to-day operations within the business.

In addition to confirming that the owner is indeed a Veteran, many records are evaluated to confirm that they're also in control of management and day-to-day operations. Those records include items such as partnership agreements, corporate charters, organizational charters, mission statements, inventory, service providers, bank statements and tax information.
