With brand-new director Javier E. Saade running the SBA’s SBIC program, along with Maria Contreras-Sweet just confirmed as new head of the SBA, the billion-dollar question is -- What is the new leadership planning?
Here’s some very good news!
To answer that question, we’re pleased to announce that Javier E. Saade is going to be a featured speaker at The Capital Roundtable’s annual spring SBIC conference, coming to discuss with you his plans and insights.
On the plus side, we expect to learn there may be further streamlining of regulations. There may be greater transparency. And there may be initiatives to make even more capital available.
Yet -- while so far there’s been no indication the SBA will want to move in completely new directions -- anyone who currently manages an SBIC -- or is seeking to launch one -- is taking nothing for granted.
At her recent hearing, Contreras-Sweet said she'll make sure small businesses know "this is not your grandfather's SBA.” And Saade recently announced the SBA plans to increase its annual SBIC program commitment to $4 billion, up from $3 billion.
Whether you’re new or long familiar with the SBIC program, you must attend our ENCORE conference, with all‑NEW content, on “Best Practices for Launching & Managing an SBIC,” being held in New York City on Thursday, May 15th.
This conference is exceptionally timely, because it will bring you the very latest news on what’s going on in Washington and how potential changes may affect SBICs. You’ll hear what to expect from the new administrators. Where the program is going in the short-term. And what to watch for in the long-term.
With a record number of SBIC licenses awarded last year — 34 in total — there is a groundswell of demand for the SBA to lend to even more funds, and for an easier and more transparent application process that benefits new entrants. The SBA is listening, and you’ll hear their response.
We’ll also examine some of the newly-announced directions for the SBIC program. For example, manufacturing is now a national priority, to counter the country’s losses in its manufacturing base. And now on the SBA’s table are plans for helping the SEC facilitate equity crowd-funding by encouraging it to pass reasonable rules.
Here are 6 important reasons you should Register Now for this encore Capital Roundtable conference --
- Hear first-hand from SBA representatives what lies ahead for 2014, and how you can best take advantage of the SBIC program.
- Discover how new SBIC management will be interpreting application criteria and current regulations.
- Realize what SBIC officials want to see -- and not see -- in your program application.
- Understand how you can often satisfy the experience criteria the SBA prefers without formally being on an investment committee.
- Learn how enlisting knowledgeable advisors can help you navigate the hurdles of the application process.
- Recognize how important it is that your fund proposal be focused to showcase your strengths.
We’re extremely pleased to welcome Michael Korengold, president and CEO of Enhanced Capital Group LLC, as our chairman.
Headquartered in New York City, Enhanced Capital not only manages an SBIC fund, but also is a diversified private investment firm focused on established small and mid-sized companies often overlooked by traditional sources of capital due to location or size.
In addition, we once again are bringing you the expert legal counsel of keynote speaker Michael B. Staebler. Mike is a partner with Pepper Hamilton LLP, the country’s largest and most active small business investment company practice. Mike ran an SBIC for six years and has represented more than 215 licensed SBICs since 1994.
What’s more, our panel presentations will also feature 20 highly knowledgeable SBIC experts, including GPs, lenders, SBA administrators, attorneys, consultants, and more. You’ll hear the inside story on SBA policies and practices, and benefit from a wide variety of informed perspectives.
We’ll answer such questions as --
- Can investors look forward to greater modernization of the SBIC application process?
- What issues may be affecting the SBIC program and PE industry in Congress?
- What are today’s biggest challenges facing PE firms who want to gain an SBIC license?
- How can interested SBIC applicants succeed in the face of growing competition?
- Why have so few early stage licenses been granted and what are the prospects for applicants in queue?
- What is it like to operate a Business Development Company (BDC) with an SBIC subsidiary?
- How may the SBIC program be affected over the next several years should interest rates rise or other low-cost forms of leverage appear?
- What are the key mistakes firms make most frequently when seeking licensing?
- How can you best position your team to gain acceptance as an SBIC?
- What kind of track record is likely to make your application stand out?
- Are there specific investment strategies that work best for new SBICs?
- What techniques do experienced SBICs rely on for successful operation?
We also encourage you to Register Now to attend our afternoon pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, May 14th -- “How to Launch Your First SBIC -- Basics & Nuances.”
This optional workshop is ideal for attendees who are new to small business investment companies, and will go into greater detail on the specific procedures for getting started.
