Most government programs are getting shrunk.  But in FY 2011 Congress actually expanded the resources of the SBA’s Small Business Investment Company program by a whopping one billion dollars.

It’s no wonder that so many new SBIC applications are awaiting SBA approval.

Done right, the SBIC program is a tremendous boon for PE investors, and will only become more prized as traditional capital stays scarce and expensive.

But with today’s challenging fundraising market there’s a good deal of traffic on the road to becoming an SBIC. 

• You have to meet rigid qualifications. 
• You have to demonstrate a strong track record. 
• And you have to be willing to work with SBA officials, following their license approval and adhering to recordkeeping requirements.

Yet the SBA has never authored a guidebook on licensing and launching an SBIC.  There are no step‑by‑step instructions on any government website, and there’s no dedicated “help desk” at SBA headquarters in Washington D.C. 

Understanding the rules, the ramifications, and the benefits takes face-to-face conversations with knowledgeable SBIC experts.

          That’s why both current SBICs and teams seeking their first SBIC license

          should make plans now to join us for this ENCORE full‑day conference,

          with all‑NEW content, on Thursday, March 8, in New York.

          And you even have an enticing capital incentive to sign up for this

          conference now.  With our special Early Bird Rate, we’ll apply a

          generous savings of $400 to all reservations made by January 27, 2012!

Investment firms that become SBICs can presently obtain from the government up to three times leverage for the private capital they raise.  And Congress is currently considering an SBIC Modernization Act that would raise the amount of available funding even higher.

What’s more, the SBA announced two initiatives last year designed to make SBIC status even more rewarding for investors --

          Through its LMI Program -- providing special Low and Moderate Income

          debentures -- SBICs that invest within distressed economic regions can borrow

          both at a discounted initial price plus no interest payments or other charges for

          the first five years.

          And through its Innovation Fund program, the SBA is increasing its

          commitments for early-stage venture deals.  The recently proposed rules for

          Early Stage SBICs -- a new sub-category within the SBIC program -- call for an

          allocation of $200 million of leverage per year over five years, also with

          discounted debentures.

          So whether you’re interested in SBIC licensing or investing, seeking

          deal prospects, meeting SBA and NASBIC officials, or linking up with

          SBIC management who can use your professional services, this

          conference on Thursday, March 8, 2012, is a must-attend experience.

And to chair this conference, we’re delighted to have Ken Jones, managing partner of Boathouse Capital, in suburban Philadelphia, behind the podium.

Ken has over 30 years of experience in the small and middle-market investing business.  He has participated as an adviser or principal on over $2 billion of middle-market transactions in his career, been a member of 15 company boards, and served as the president and CEO of two companies. 

Prior to managing Boathouse, Ken was a principal at American Capital’s Philadelphia office.  He was also a general partner of Meridian Venture Partners, and led the commercial and industrial middle-market investment banking practice at Berwind Financial.

Well-known in the Philadelphia deal community, Ken served as president of the Philadelphia chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth for three years.  He has a BA in economics from East Stroudsburg State College and an MBA from Drexel University.  He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

20 SBIC Authorities Provide Revealing Guidance & Advice.

Along with Ken, our panel presentations will feature 20 highly knowledgeable SBIC experts, including GPs, lenders, U.S. Small Business Administration administrators, attorneys, consultants and more.  They’ll bring you the tips and techniques for successfully raising PE funds with a new or additional SBIC.

And to bring you expert counsel from a legal perspective, our introductory keynote speaker is Michael B. Staebler, of 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 190 licensed SBICs since 1972.

Register now to get the big picture through these vital answers --

• What is projected for total SBIC funding in 2011-2013?
• What are the biggest challenges facing PE firms in their quest to gain SBIC licensing?
• What are the key tips and techniques for successful operation as an SBIC?
• How can interested SBIC applicants be noticed in the face of growing competition?
• What are the prime categories that SBICs are investing in today?
• What has been the industry reaction to the proposed Early Stage SBIC rules?
• How can you convince your investors that their money is going into sound creditworthy investments?
• What are the key mistakes that firms make most frequently when seeking SBIC licensing?
• How can you best position your team to gain acceptance as an SBIC?
• What are the key differences PE managers must learn between operating in the conventional mode and operating according to SBA rules?
• And much, much more.

One-On-One Access To The People You Want To Meet.

Our past SBIC conferences have been filled to capacity, and as we don’t like turning away people we urge you to make your plans today.  There’ll be plenty of time during the conference -- such as section breaks and an open lunch -- when you can meet fellow attendees and featured speakers, swap business cards, and make valuable connections.

You should attend this conference if you are a --

• GP who wants to leverage your private capital two, even three times.
• GP interested in finding out if your team is eligible for SBIC licensing.
• LP interested in making investments in the lower middle-market.
• LP who wants to meet the leading participants in the SBIC space.
• Banker who want to assess the possibilities of creating a non-leveraged SBIC -- or is considering investing in SBICs and needs Community Reinvestment Act credit.
• Pension or Endowment fund manager who wants to invest in a leveraged fund without incurring Unrelated Business Income Tax.
• Advisor or consultant to GPs or LPs on SBICs.
• Attorney who advises SBICs.
• Executive search professional recruiting for the PE industry.

We also encourage you to attend our three-hour pre-conference Workshop the afternoon before on Wednesday, March 7 --
