The U.S. Small Business Administration has once again updated its primary policy document related to so-called “change of ownership” loans  which often require the services of “independent” and “qualified” business appraisers which include Certified Business Appraisers (CBAs). After a tumultuous six month period involving their March, 2009 decision to implement a “goodwill cap” associated with business acquisition financing, the SBA has “loosened” their grip in this area by issuing SOP50-10(5)(B) with an effective date of 10-1-09. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>SBA Update</div>
<div>By Scott Gabehart (BA, MIM, CBA)</div>
<div>October 2, 2009.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The U.S. Small Business Administration has once again updated its primary policy document related to so-called “change of ownership” loans  which often require the services of “independent” and “qualified” business appraisers which include <a href="http://www.go-iba.org/professional-certifications/index.html">Certified Business Appraisers </a>(CBAs) designation offered by <a href="http://www.go-iba.org">the Institute of Business Appraisers</a>. After a tumultuous six month period involving their March, 2009 decision to implement a “goodwill cap” associated with business acquisition financing, the SBA has “loosened” their grip in this area by issuing SOP50-10(5)(B) with an effective date of 10-1-09.<br />
�<br />
The key changes involve elevating the goodwill cap to $500K (from $250K) and allowing “preferred lenders” to fully process even greater amounts of goodwill when the combined “equity” from buyer and seller total 25% or more of the planned purchase price. For those readers interested in learning more about the new SOP, it can be found at www.sba.gov (enter the term “SOP” into the search engine).<br />
�<br />
The specific situations requiring an independent business valuation include a loan involving “related parties” (e.g. business sale from parents to children) or a total loan amount greater than $250K (after backing out the loan portion attributed to real estate and equipment). Although total 7(a) loan activity has plummeted from their cyclical high in 2007 (from close to 100,000 loans to an annualized rate of less than 40,000 loans), the current trend line is positive due to the recent change to the SOP and as a result of other “stimulative” changes linked to the Administration’s “stimulus” programs, e.g. elimination of borrower fees and elevation of guaranty percentages. �<br />
Another relevant change concerns the new SOP’s clarification which requires the appraiser to reach a “conclusion” of value, effectively eliminating the viability of “calculation” engagements or other similar “limited” appraisal reports.  Considering that there were no formal requirements for using an independent and qualified appraiser as recently as 18 months ago, the SBA has evolved substantially in terms of its recognition that complete and credible business appraisals are an important element of the “change of ownership” loan program. In fact, the new SOP specifically states that this is the case on page 185 of SOP50-10(5)(B):<br />
�<br />
“Determining the value of a business (not including real estate which is separately valued through an appraisal) is the key component to the analysis of any loan application for a change of ownership. An accurate business valuation is required because the change in ownership will result in new debt unrelated to business operations and create an intangible asset. A business valuation assists the buyer in making a determination that the seller’s asking price is supported by historic operations and permits the buyer to make a reasonable return on his or her investment.”<br />
�<br />
Surprisingly, this seemingly simple paragraph includes verbiage (signals) which help the appraiser to determine both the type of report which is required and the relevant standard of value.  Because the SOP does not directly address these pivotal valuation issues, it is incumbent upon the appraiser to be aware of the proper valuation approach to use for this very unique appraisal environment (unique in the same way that matrimonial dissolution appraisals are unique).<br />
�<br />
In short, the recent changes implemented by the President and Congress as well as the SBA should lead to a substantial uptick in the number of the 7(a) program loans which require independent business valuations. Given that loan generation had already picked up substantially over the past three months, the remainder of 2009 and 2010 should see even greater loan volume &#8211; and greater demand for appraisal services.<br />

<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Corporate Development Manager</p>
<p>Overview: Interested in structuring, valuing and negotiating complex financial transactions for the world’s largest technology company? Microsoft’s Corporate Development group is a small team of deal professionals that sources, evaluates and executes acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and partnerships for Microsoft. The team interacts regularly with Microsoft’s senior management, including frequent discussions with the company’s CEO and CFO. The team is looking for highly motivated Mergers and Acquisitions professionals with a passion for technology.</p>
<p>Microsoft generates approximately $60 billion of annual revenues and is organized in five distinct divisions that span a variety of technology sectors that include consumer and enterprise software, new media, entertainment, telecommunications and mobile devices. Microsoft is an active acquirer and has closed over 40 acquisitions in the past three years and over 100 acquisitions since the beginning of 2001. Deal volume is expected to increase as acquisitions continue to be a key driver of Microsoft’s growth in the coming years, complementing a broad range of new products in the pipeline. Additionally, Microsoft continues to evaluate and fund domestic and international equity investments and joint ventures in strategic areas across all of our lines of business.</p>
<p>Responsibilities: Managers will play an integral role in charting the future direction of Microsoft and will participate in landscape-defining transactions. They will join an accomplished team of individuals with MBAs and JDs from top schools that have extensive M&amp;A experience from leading investment banks, private equity firms, consulting firms and corporations. For any given deal, Corporate Development Managers will lead valuation analysis. They will also actively participate in deal structuring, negotiation strategy, review of term sheets and definitive agreements, and they will play a vital role in upfront idea generation, strategic evaluation and business planning, coordination of financial, tax and legal due diligence, and post-close integration planning. Managers will also interface with the investment banking, venture capital and startup communities and will conduct special projects for business group CFOs and executives to evaluate new business opportunities.</p>
<p>As the role evolves, the Corporate Development team encourages and supports Managers to pursue bigger challenges and assume greater responsibilities. Furthermore, leaders of this team are highly dedicated to personal career development; they organize advanced M&amp;A training sessions, meet with each Manager on a regular basis to discuss career development and offer personal coaching to improve professional skills. In the long-term, the senior leadership of Microsoft will continue to look to the Corporate Development team as a source for new business leaders within the company, building on an already strong tradition of exporting talent to Microsoft’s business groups.</p>
<p>Given this philosophy, this position is NOT structured as a pre-MBA program. There are a number of Managers who have later assumed large leadership roles in the group without an MBA, moved on to exciting operational and financial roles within Microsoft, or pursued an MBA at top-tier business schools.</p>
<p>Qualifications: We are looking for professionals with at least two years of analyst experience from a top-tier investment bank, preferably with mergers and acquisitions transaction experience. Ideal candidates will be self-starters, have strong financial skills and robust valuation expertise and the ability to work independently in a rapidly changing business environment. Personal integrity, initiative, strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team in an environment that demands excellence are essential. A passion for technology is a positive.</span></p>
