(888) CERTIFIED

If you’re a veteran entrepreneur in Michigan, there’s one certification that opens the door to major corporate and government opportunities: the Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Business (SD/VOB) Certification powered by the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC).

Through its partnership with NVBDC, the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) has solidified its commitment to helping veteran-owned businesses succeed. SBAM proudly recognizes NVBDC as the nationally accepted gold standard for verifying veteran business ownership and it’s the certification Michigan Veteran businesses trust to gain access to a $122 billion corporate procurement marketplace.

Why NVBDC Certification Matters

Unlike self-certification or less rigorous processes, NVBDC’s leading and original third-party certification ensures your veteran-owned business meets strict guidelines verified through a professional, confidential, and thorough review. This credibility helps companies get noticed and get contracts.

By getting certified through NVBDC via SBAM, your veteran business can:

  • Access Contracts: NVBDC is the only veteran certification body recognized by the Billion Dollar Roundtable, and its certification will give SD/VOB’s the possibility to access contracting opportunities with Fortune 500 companies, federal and state agencies, and Tier 1 suppliers.
  • Gain Credibility: Stand out with a certification that’s trusted by procurement leaders nationwide.
    Increase Visibility: Become part of a national network of certified veteran businesses promoted by SBAM and NVBDC.

Additional SBAM Certification Offerings

SBAM also offers these key certifications to help businesses elevate their status and access even more opportunities:

  • Small Business Certification – For Michigan-based for-profit businesses with fewer than 500 employees and annual revenues under $25 million. Adds credibility and helps with procurement goals.

Make Your Certification Work for You

Michigan’s SD/VOB’s business community is strong and NVBDC certification helps you prove it on paper. Whether you’re just launching your business or scaling for new contracts, this certification is a powerful asset.
