How do I report to SBA the changes to a certified business?

The Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) Program requires certified participants to report any material changes to their business that may impact their program eligibility outlined in 13 CFR Part 128. If a change occurs, the business must report it to SBA within 30 days of any such change. If you have any questions, please contact the call center at 800-862-8088.

Please explain the change(s) in as much detail as possible.

Login into VetCert, and from the home screen go to the certifications and designations at the bottom of the screen and click action:
