About the Program
The Veteran Owned Micro-Business Certification is offered through Connecticut Veterans Affairs. Veterans are defined under Connecticut General Statutes 27-103(A)(1). The Business.CT.gov page doesn’t spell out the full definition, application steps or fees, so use the linked Connecticut Veterans Affairs page for those. The same page also lists other resources for veteran business owners, including no-cost advisory services from the Connecticut Small Business Development Center, Veterans Business Outreach Centers and the federal contracting programs for veteran-owned businesses.
