Description:

If you’re a small business owner in the government contracting (GovCon) space, a new final rule from the Small Business Administration (SBA) could significantly affect you if you ever want to do a sale, merger, or acquisition. These recently issued SBA changes are important, complex and will have a major impact on valuations with the exception of deals which close in advance of January 17, 2026 – – the new regulations take effect on January 16, 2025 with certain essential sections under a one year delay.

COMPANY VALUE WILL DECREASE after 2026 for small business GovCon transactions involving multiple-award-set-aside contracts covered by the new regulations with the value of backlog a buyer can obtain limited.

Whether you’re planning to sell your business, acquire another business, merge with another company, or maintain your status as a small business, you will need a detailed understanding of this new rule and you need it NOW!
