Why Partner with a SDVOSB?

Service-Disabled veteran owned small (SDVOSB) businesses are awarded 3% of all federal contracts.  This is from The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999 which guarantees up to 3% of federal government contracts and subcontracts will be set aside for veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB) and service-disability veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). With the U.S. government spending over $665 on government contracts, partnering with a Veteran owned business can be very beneficial and businesses are more likely to be awarded a contract.
