ATTENTION
Prior to applying for certification there are a few things you should know:
Using a Third Party Company to complete your Certification is not recommended.
What they do for you, is already included in your certification fee.
To protect your privacy and identity, third party certification companies need your permission/authorization to access the NVBDC database and upload your documents.
In addition, third party certification companies are required to complete and notarize the NVBDC Third Party Release form.
Though achieving Veteran Owned Business Certification requires some work, our process will clearly guide you through the various steps necessary to accomplish this task much faster than you could accomplish on your own.
