Post-award grant management ensures federal and foundation grant compliance from the award date through grant closeout. Many grant consultants only manage grants they wrote. But VBC will manage ANY federal or foundation grant—whether we wrote the original proposal or someone else did. This is critical because some grant writers may not be available after securing the award or may not know the post-award process, leaving non-profits struggling with: quarterly reporting; financial reconciliation; and federal compliance requirements.
VBC helps small businesses access government contracts AND corporate contracts through strategic federal and corporate certification planning. We specialize in: SBA 8(a) certification; WOSB/EDWOSB certification; HUBZone certification; VOSB/SDVOSB certification; and corporate certifications, including: WBE; MBE; DBE; and VBE.

Access Fortune 500 supplier diversity programs with these corporate certifications:
Many small business consultants won't tell you this: The real competitive advantage comes from combining federal AND corporate certifications strategically. For example, a woman-owned business can pursue BOTH federal WOSB certification (for government contracts) and corporate WBE certification (for Fortune 500 supplier programs). This dual certification approach maximizes opportunities across public AND private sectors—something many small businesses never realize is possible.
