A VOSB (Veteran-Owned Small Business) / SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) refers to small businesses across the United States that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more veterans (or service-disabled veterans), and where those veteran owners manage day-to-day operations and make long-term decisions.
These designations are recognized by the federal government to encourage veteran entrepreneurship by providing eligible businesses with valuable opportunities to compete for set-aside and sole-source government contracts reserved for certified veteran-owned firms.
