DGS PD 843 example filled out, example: a disabled veteran owner who rents equipment
Marcus T. Sample, a disabled veteran owner, completes DGS PD 843. His DVBE rents equipment and he owns at least 51% of it, so Section 3 applies. The picture shows the form filled in, and none of its entries is real. He is not a broker, so the second box and the firm lines stay empty. He signs one row in Section 2 as the only owner, so the second signature row stays empty, and signs again in Section 3. Nothing goes in Disabled Veteran Manager(s) of the DVBE because no separate manager signs.
