The recipient of a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Massachusetts, Michael Snedeker resides in Boston and serves as business coach through Action COACH. In this capacity, Michael Snedeker helps Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned (SDVO) businesses develop effective marketing strategies.
Registering your company as an SDVO business comes with several benefits, such as access to specially earmarked government contracts, increased traffic, and consideration from potential clients who want to support veteran entrepreneurship. To begin the registration process with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), you need to create a user account for your company with VetBiz (www.vip.vetbiz.gov/Public/Register/Register.aspx) and prove your veteran status by uploading military service records, which can be obtained through the Department of Defense, as well as a disability status letter from the VA. The business also must be at least 51 percent owned by yourself or other veterans.
The VA will then review the documents and application and may even examine tax returns, bank statements, and business inventory to ensure it's capable of taking on government contract work. Site visits throughout the registration process may also occur. Smaller business not seeking government contracts can choose to register with private entities such as Buy Veteran.
