"Gray pallor" to be cast over small businesses due to new certification rules...sure

The new SBA recertification rules (see my post from late last year) are creating a stir because they may make some small businesses less attractive to be purchased by large businesses. I can see where this might be a problem, especially for those folks who create a small company strictly to win a portfolio of lucrative contracts and then sell the whole thing to a large company and take the money and run.

Supporting that type of activity is really in the spirit of helping small businesses grow and expand the industrial base (isn't that the original goal of SBA preferences?)- NOT.
