Sources and limits

Firm criteria checked through 2026-08-20. SBA fund facts reflect the directory file pulled 2026-08-08. The SBA average investment is a historical program measure, not this firm's current target check size.

Criteria can change without notice. Use the official firm website to verify current size, industry, geography, ownership, and submission requirements before relying on this profile.

Prepare for a buyer conversation

  1. State whether you want a full exit, majority recapitalization, minority investment, or management buyout.
  2. Prepare three years of financials and a defensible normalized EBITDA bridge.
  3. Document customer concentration, recurring revenue, management depth, and owner transition plans.
  4. Explain the match to the firm's public industry, size, and transaction criteria in one paragraph.
