SBA’s Proposed Size Standards: What They Could Mean for Your Company

October 22nd, 12PM - 1PM EST | Virtual

If adopted, the SBA's proposed size standards would be a game changer for government contractors. In many of the industries where GovCon firms compete, the ceiling for what counts as "small" would rise several times over, reshaping who you compete against, who can partner with you, and who can buy you. With comments now due November 20, business owners have a window to do more than weigh in with the SBA.

Join SECAF for a panel discussion exploring the business implications, and what you should consider now based on your revenue, industry, and position relative to today’s size standards.

What you’ll take away

• Anticipate changes to your competition. Understand how higher size standards could change who qualifies as small and who competes for the contracts you pursue.
• Assess the implications for your company. Explore how your current size and type of work could influence the opportunities and challenges ahead.
• Clarify your growth strategy. Consider what the proposed changes could mean if you want to acquire a business, position your company for a sale, or continue growing independently.
• Reassess your partnerships. Examine potential effects on joint ventures and mentor-protégé relationships, including whether smaller firms could face greater difficulty securing partners.
• Prepare for leadership decisions. Identify the strategic questions your team should address before any changes take effect.

Who should attend?
Owners, CEOs, and senior leaders of small and emerging government contractors, particularly those evaluating competitive positioning, partnerships, acquisitions, or an eventual sale.
