The robust growth for SDVOSB firms makes this verification more valuable to holders. If you would like to go over the qualifications for becoming a SDVOSB, or how to market an existing SDVOSB, I always recommend contacting an industry expert such as ez8a, Advance 8a or Government Marketing. None charge a fee for an initial phone consultation.
