In January 2023, all responsibilities for verifying veteran-owned businesses (VoBs) and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVoSBs) are now transferred from the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Small Business Administration (SBA).

• What does this change mean?
• How will this impact your business development opportunities and sole source contracts?
• What can you expect from the new SBA certification program?

Hosted by APEX Accelerators (formerly Colorado PTAC), join subject matter experts from Veterans Advocacy Law Group, for a one-hour webinar. They will present a Q&A session and insights on what businesses like yours should expect moving forward.

Questions to be addressed will include the following:

• Now that the SBA is the authority, have the standards for eligibility changed?
• Does the SBA determine who is a veteran or service-disabled veteran?
• What if my business is decertified as a VoSB or SDVoSB, and the SBA denies my initial application?
• Why would the SBA decertify my business?
• Will my contracting opportunities change now that the SBA is managing the CVE process?
