Veteran Owned Business

Veteran Owned Businesses are important to our Island County local economies! 

The Island County communities Chambers of Commerce and the Washington Department of
 Veterans Affairs Veterans Owned businesses Program invite Veteran Owned Businesses
 to be certified and recognized in the upcoming 2016 Business directories.
 
In the current ‘Results Washington’ state strategic plan Washington State agencies have been asked by
 Governor Inslee to do 5% of their purchasing from Veteran or Service member Owned Businesses.  
By linking the WDVA Certified Veteran and Service member Owned Business list to WEBS, 
state agencies will now have a way to identify WDVA Certified Businesses AND keep 
track of how they’re doing toward their purchasing goals.
 
Why get certified as a WDVA Veteran or Service member Owned Business? 
WDVA and WEBS (Washington’s Electronic Business Solution) have teamed up to streamline
 the registration and certification process for vendors who want to do business
 with Washington State agencies or municipalities.

Certification is free and requires only basic veteran discharge status and business information to complete.
 
It will also help private businesses and citizens across the state with easy access to your business information
 through the list of WDVA Certified Veteran or Service member Owned Businesses in their communities.
 
And, it makes you eligible to apply for the Veterans Linked Deposit Program which can improve access
 to capital for certified Veteran and Service member Owned Business enterprises
 by decreasing interest rates on small business loans up to 2%!
