It was in 2005 that BVC started its five-year contract as the exclusive valuation adviser for the SBIC private equity and venture capital program. As the SBA’s advisor, BVC was asked to author the valuation guidelines and related regulations which were adopted by the United States government. These are now used to regulate those funds and the valuation of their portfolio companies, meaning BVC didn’t just set the industry standard, it authored them.
Exclusive Advisor to
Small Business Administration
Over the past five years Business Valuation Center was under exclusive contract to provide valuation advisory services to the SBA’s SBIC program, which represents over 400 private equity firms. During this period, we performed over 2,000 valuations for the SBA, which had investments in these private equity firms of $20-$100 million. As a result of this five-year project we got to know several hundred private equity fund managers which uniquely positions us to propose solid potential investment opportunities to these firms.
