Your Small Business Set-Aside M&A Team
If your small business has Small Business designated set-aside contracts, selling or transferring them can be challenging but not impossible. In fact, at sbLiftOff, we specialize in mergers and acquisitions (M&As) for small business owners in every industry, especially companies with designations like women-owned small businesses (WOSBs), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs), and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs).
When you are ready to move on to your next adventure, trust our expert M&A advisory firm to help you receive a fair market valuation, including for any set-aside work. We will help you find buyers ready to lift your business to new heights.
Our Proven Track Record With Set-Aside M&A
The team at sbLiftOff knows your work matters and has value and we take a comprehensive approach to your merger or acquisition while keeping in mind your personal goals. From financial analysis to risk assessment and market positioning, we consider all aspects of your sale and give you the marketinformation you need regarding what buyers are paying for set-aside contract work. That’s valuable information before and during negotiations.
Our VOSB and SDVOSB M&A Advisory Services
Our experience with the veteran community in government contracting and our experience with set-aside programs allows us to hone in on the right qualified buyers. For example, many business owners are concerned about losing their contract eligibility and whether the buyer is committed to meeting the recertification requirements set forth by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Our services ensure both parties come to the table knowing what is expected of them for a successful transaction.
Our company President sits on the Board of the National Veteran Small Business Coalition and we are deeply engaged with veteran-owne companies.th. sbLiftOff’s knowledge of the veteran market provide you with insights into every stage of the selling, merging, or acquiring process so you can know what to expect, and feel confident you have an experienced advisor at your side.
Our WOSB M&A Advisory Services
WOSBs remain important as the SBA continues to allocate about five percent of its contracts to businesses that are at least 51% woman-owned. At sbLiftOff, we believe what you have built is important, and we will find buyers who feel the same, even as you transition out of your leadership role. This means negotiating deals that will maximize the value of what you have built.
When you choose us as your WOSB’s M&A advisory firm, we use our extensive network of buyers to find the right match to continue upholding your goals and values. We review your entire backlog and pipeline waterfall to see which contracts have designations and how that may change the M&A process. If maintaining the WOSB designation is important to you, it’s important to us, and we will bring our deep expertise to every step of the selling process.
