Roger Ward Engineering is a Veteran-Owned Business

veteran owned businessAcross America, businesses large and small are owned by our great country’s military heroes. We can identify these businesses through designations such as VBE, VOSB and IVOSB. In this post, we’ll explain what these designations mean and what they mean to you as a supporter of these enterprises.

Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE)
The VBE designation is granted locally to ensure that veteran-owned businesses have an equal opportunity to participate in the purchasing of goods, services and public works. The city of Indianapolis requires that such businesses are at least 51 percent owned by veterans or persons on active duty in a military service.

Having attained VBE designation means that the team at Roger Ward Engineering brings you a can-do attitude, whatever the task may be. You can show your support for veterans by choosing Roger Ward for your next project.

Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB)
The VOSB designation is granted by the federal government to small businesses that are at least 51 percent veteran-owned. The management and daily operations of the business must be controlled by one or more veterans, and the business must qualify as a small business enterprise according to federal standards.

Having a veteran at the helm of operations, Roger Ward Engineering has the discipline and knows the dedication and commitment required to see projects all the way through to their positive outcomes.

Indiana Veteran-Owned Small Business (IVOSB)
The IVOSB designation is granted by the state. The goal of the program is “to create meaningful business opportunities for Indiana veterans and create successful integration of Indiana veteran-owned businesses with the business infrastructure of the state of Indiana.”

As an IVOSB, Roger Ward is honored to have the appreciation of and the opportunity to do business in the state of Indiana. Helping out with our services in our home state is especially important to us.

While a certain percentage of public projects require the use of businesses with either a VBE, VOSB, or IVOSB designation, utilizing veteran-owned businesses in your projects is a great way to show your support for those who have served our country.
