Problem/Opportunity
As a new business, the client found the SDVOSB certification process overwhelming. They struggled with understanding the requirements, gathering the necessary documents, and responding to inquiries from the Small Business Administration (SBA). These challenges created a risk of delays or even rejection, making it difficult for them to secure the valuable certification needed to expand their reach in Federal government markets and unlock important growth opportunities.
iQuasar’s Solution to be SDVOSB-Certified
We worked closely with the client to guide them through every step of the SDVOSB certification process:
1. Assessing Their Business
We started by reviewing the client’s business operations, ownership structure, and eligibility. This helped us ensure that they met the requirements for SDVOSB certification and identified areas needing improvement.
2. Creating an SBA Account
We helped the client create an SBA account, ensuring all the details were entered correctly. This account was essential for accessing resources and submitting the application.
3. Checking Eligibility
We conducted detailed checks to confirm that the business was owned, controlled, and managed by a service-disabled veteran, as required by the SDVOSB program.
4. Reviewing Documents
We reviewed the client’s documents carefully to ensure everything was accurate and complete. Any issues or gaps in the paperwork were addressed before submission to avoid problems later.
5. Submitting the Application
We guided the client through the application process, ensuring their submission met all SBA requirements. iQuasar provided detailed assistance in organizing the necessary information and documentation. We also assisted the client in answering questions from the SBA related to their business operations, ensuring the responses were accurate and clear to keep the process moving forward.

Throughout the process, we supported the client by addressing additional questions or requests from the SBA. This ensured the application moved forward without unnecessary delays.
