Enterprise™ (VBE) and Certified Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Enterprise™ (SDVBE) programs. This initiative creates a nationally recognized gold standard in certification for veteran-owned businesses of all sizes and enables corporate America to proactively source and confidently utilize businesses that are at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by U.S. military Veterans.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;">Before we begin with the application, we wanted to ensure you fully understand what to expect with the application process as well as how to use your certification once your firm is approved.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;">First, this is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Small Business Administration VOSB/SBVOSB certification through the Center for Verification and Evaluation. VBE™ certification is a private-sector program that mirrors those certifications that already exist for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) selling to corporate America.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;">Second, all applicants must provide significant documentation to validate that your firm is in fact veteran-owned. Corporations can’t risk reporting spending with firms that are owned by veterans if they aren’t absolutely certain of the ownership, operation, and control. VBE™ certification provides that certainty.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;"><br/></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;">Third, NaVOBA’s Certified Veteran’s Business Enterprise™ (VBE) and Certified Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Enterprise™ (SDVBE) firms all will have gone through an on-site interview at their business location to validate the information amassed in the initial document review.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.618;"><span style="display: initial;">Finally, just like with all other private sector certifications, all applicant firms must pay a fee to process the application.<br/></span></p></div> <div class="u_1005490194 dmRespRow" id="1005490194"> <div class="dmRespColsWrapper" id="1038936043"> <div class="dmRespCol large-4 medium-4 small-12" id="1550286368"> <a data-display-type="block" class="u_1909470680 align-center dmButtonLink dmWidget dmWwr default dmOnlyButton dmDefaultGradient" file="false" href="https://apps.adaptone.com/navoba/" data-element-type="dButtonLinkId" id="1909470680" target="_blank"> <span class="iconBg" id="1964230409"> <span class="icon hasFontIcon icon-star" id="1703341884"></span> </span> <span class="text" id="1692730631">Get Certified</span> </a> </div> <div class="dmRespCol large-4 medium-4 small-12" id="1697531841"> <a data-display-type="block" class="u_1808539404 align-center dmButtonLink dmWidget dmWwr default dmOnlyButton dmDefaultGradient" file="false" href="https://apps.adaptone.com/navoba/" data-element-type="dButtonLinkId" id="1808539404" target="_blank"> <span class="iconBg" id="1297616380"> <span class="icon hasFontIcon icon-star" id="1351819284"></span> </span> <span class="text" id="1115058524">Renew Certification</span> </a> </div> <div class="dmRespCol large-4 medium-4 small-12" id="1451499467"> <a data-display-type="block" class="u_1665864442 align-center dmButtonLink dmWidget dmWwr default dmOnlyButton dmDefaultGradient newFileWidget" file="true" href="https://irp.cdn-website.com/093009ad/files/uploaded/Required%20Documents-2021.pdf" data-element-type="dButtonLinkId" id="1665864442" target="_blank"> <span class="iconBg" id="1145778713"> <span class="icon hasFontIcon icon-star" id="1501100113"></span> </span> <span class="text" id="1448200887">Download Requirements</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="u_1869344327 dmDividerWrapper clearfix" data-element-type="dDividerId" data-layout="divider-style-1" data-widget-version="2" id="1869344327"><hr class="dmDivider" style="border-width:2px;
