SBA role in Yarock debacle sparks new debate
In 1966 Edward Yarock sought funds from Midland Venture Capital under SBA regulation, but Midland acquired 30 percent control by 1974. The SBA ordered divestiture, Midland pivoted to a stock swap with Royal Business Forms, Yarock was ousted, and attempts to rescue independence failed. SBA staff defended stance while noting no regulatory basis to block the deal. The affair left Midland in bankruptcy and Royal’s leader admitting heavy losses.
