Vetrepreneur Veteran Owned Business Directory

veteran small business certification


Using the Veteran Owned Business (VOB) directory is one more way you can further support both active and retired service members. It’s also a free place for Veterans to promote their own small business (assuming they have one).

The Veteran Owned Business Directory was established by the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA). You can search the directory by subject keywords and receive a list of Veteran Owned Businesses (VOBs) across the USA. You can also search by entering your zip code and find local businesses in your area.

If you are a Veteran and have your own small business (a vetrepreneur), you can list your business information on the site for free. Vetrepreneurs can upgrade by paying a monthly membership fee of $3.99 to receive a website certification badge and a subscription to Vetrepreneur Magazine (formerly known as Veterans Business Journal).

The Value of a National Veteran Owned Business Directory:

  1. When you purchase items or services from a Veteran Owned Business, you are rewarding service members even further for service to our country.Shop at a Veteran Owned Business for:

    • Your own small business supplies
    • Business to Business (B2B) sales or services
  2. Network with other VOBs
