SBDG Highlights “SBDG IPO Factory” Model as Key to Value Creation and Strategic Growth

CAMERON, NC — Small Business Development Group, Inc. (OTCID: SBDG), a publicly traded holding company, today provided an in-depth overview of its core business model, the “SBDG IPO Factory”. This model focuses on acquiring and building profitable, privately owned small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the goal of ultimately spinning them off as their own Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) on the NYSE or Nasdaq. Unlike traditional private equity firms that often rely on heavy leverage and a single exit, SBDG’s platform uses a public holding-company structure to acquire firms with enterprise values typically ranging from $2 million to $50 million.

The “IPO Factory” leverages a “Soft Leverage Buyout” (Soft LBO) model to acquire these companies. The Soft LBO approach emphasizes realistic valuations and flexible buyer financing to ensure a smooth transition. This method is designed to be “founder-friendly,” encouraging business owners to remain engaged after the acquisition. The company’s strategic acquisitions are supported by the C2C Private Equity co-investment fund.

Deal flow and advisory expertise for SBDG are assisted by key entities, including the M&A advisory firm Stony Hill Advisors and C2C Business Strategies. Stony Hill Advisors, a subsidiary of SBDG, provides a range of professional services, including M&A, business valuations, and transaction consulting. C2C Business Strategies specializes in helping companies achieve scalable growth through acquisitions, with a focus on identifying accretive targets and structuring efficient transactions. This integrated approach allows SBDG to add operational discipline to its portfolio companies and position each vertical for a future public listing.
