Once I apply what is the average wait time to get verified?

SBA anticipates a significant amount of interest in being certified through the SBA Veteran Small Business Certification Program. SBA intends to maintain a 30-day average for certification application review and decisions once a complete application is received. Businesses with more complex ownership and management structures may experience longer wait times for decisions. The best way to reduce your overall wait time for certification is to submit a complete application and be responsive to requests for additional information, if received.
