VetCert pre-screener

Three inputs.One verdict on the lane.

Confirm whether your discharge, VA rating, and ownership intent open the federal VetCert lane — and walk out with a contextual evidence checklist for the documents you still need to gather before registration.

Why this exists

Oathloop structures VetCert-ready on day one.

If the lane is open, your operating agreement and cap table are designed to keep it open. If something is missing, the pre-screen tells you exactly what to gather before the structuring conversation starts.
