Small Business Investment Companies SBICs

Our team of SBIC attorneys understand this world intimately, from fund formation to licensing, management and ongoing operations, and we’ll provide the guidance to help your SBIC thrive.

We’ll be there by your side from your first step, assisting you in the preparation and documentation of the Management Assessment Questionnaire (MAQ), License Application and related documentation required for the SBIC licensing process. We understand the inner workings of the US Small Business Administration (SBA), who license SBICs, and once we’ve helped you get set up with them, our lawyers will steer you through all your regulatory requirements and compliance obligations.

Our lawyers know the SBIC program inside and out. SBA regulations are extensive and navigating this regulatory framework requires a team that fully understands the SBA’s mission and the latest legislative and regulatory initiatives. We have that experience. We’ve worked with the SBA over many years and will help you stay on top of any changes coming down the road.

Whether you’re a public or private corporation, a specialty investment company or a sponsor of private investment funds, we have the dedicated knowledge and experience to advise you. We also work with existing fund structures, including business development companies (BDCs), in structuring and obtaining licenses for SBIC subsidiaries.
