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

Island County Chambers of Commerce and the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) invite

Veteran Owned Businesses to be certified and recognized in Washington business directories.

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. 

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. 

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%!  Qualified Business get a window decal identifying the Veteran Owned Business recognition.
