Free Checklist for SDVOSB Business Owners
You Earned the Certification. Now Here’s How to Use It.
SDVOSB opens every federal agency — sole-source contracts, set-asides, waived loan fees. But winning the contract is only half the story. This checklist covers what happens next, and how to make sure you can actually deliver when the government says yes.

Here is what most guides skip: The federal government does not pay fast. Net 30 is the floor. Net 60-90 is common. You win a contract in January, you may not see a check until April — and your payroll, rent, and vendor bills do not wait. This checklist tells you exactly what contracts your certification unlocks and exactly how to fund the gap between winning and getting paid.
