In this Deep-Dive Webinar, Government Contracts Attorney Brad Reaves (who has 20 years of experience navigating SBA Set-Aside programs and ownership changes), will provide detailed guidance on Ownership Changes (including Recertification Requirements) for all SBA Programs (Small, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB/EDWOSB, and HUBZone).
This LIVE Webinar (with Q&A) is targeted toward Small Business Owners and Executives looking to bring on Investors, reward Employees with Ownership, or those looking to do larger scale Exit, Succession, or M&A Planning. Brad will explain the SBA’s NEW (January 2025) Rules on Recertification after Ownership Changes for all Small and Set-Aside Contracts.
Brad will also explain the SBA’s all-important Affiliation and Control Rules, and provide advanced strategies for navigating ownership changes without triggering the SBA’s Affiliation Rules (which can cause you to inadvertently become a LARGE Business).
Finally, Brad will explain various transaction structures to ensure your Ownership Change, Exit/Succession or M&A event allows your company to retain maximum value
