Webinar - SBA Final Rule: Implications for GovCon M&A (PilieroMazza, Bass Berry & Sims, Fluet)

If you’re a small business owner in the government contracting (GovCon) space, a new final rule from the Small Business Administration (SBA) is significantly affecting you if you plan to pursue a sale, merger, or acquisition. These newly issued SBA changes are important, complex, and are having a major impact on valuations-except for deals closing before January 17, 2026. The new regulations take effect on January 16, 2025, with certain essential sections delayed by one year.
COMPANY VALUE IS DECREASING after 2026 for small business GovCon transactions involving multiple-award set-aside contracts covered by the new regulations, as the value of backlog a buyer can obtain is now limited.
Whether you are planning to sell your business, acquire another, merge with a company, or maintain your small business status, GovCon regulatory lawyers Isaias "Cy" Alba from PilieroMazza, Todd Overman Bass, Berry & Sims, and Marlena Ewald from Fluet break down and deliver a detailed understanding of this new rule.
