SBA Help? 1960s Venture Collapse and Loss of Control
Edward Yarock recounts his 1966 loan from Midland Venture Capital under SBA rules which prohibited majority ownership. Midland acquired 80 percent of his company by 1974, prompting a divestiture order by 1981. A stock swap with Royal Business Forms followed, Yarock was fired, and the SBA sided with Midland citing no regulatory basis to object. Midland later went bankrupt and Royal sold the firm in 1985 after heavy losses.
