Small Business Development Group (OTC: SBDG) Announces AI Driven Mergers & Acquisition Division; Outlines Strategy for Significant Growth

CARY, NC - (NewMediaWire) - September 20, 2022 - Small Business Development Group, Inc. (OTC: SBDG) (www.SBDGStock.com) today announced a new division, SBDG M&A Advisory Services.

 

The goal of the new division is to acquire six additional firms in metropolitan area population centers, which will allow for growth of both new clients and SBDG offices.  “SBDG acquired Stony Hill Advisors (www.StonyHillAdvisors.com), a successful mergers & acquisitions firm, and they will play a key role in our M&A strategy,” said Roy Y. Salisbury, SBDG CEO and Chairman.

“Our goal is to be the largest M&A advisory firm in the United States, driven by AI technology platforms to support our ‘boots on the ground' offices. Our recent acquisition of the enterprise software solutions company Ubun2Group (www.Ubun2Group.com) drives revenue and growth for SBDG, and strategically they are the lead developers and architects of our AI driven M&A platforms,” said Brian Jue, SBDG COO and Director. 

“We are confident the M&A business will be a strong value driver for SBDG,” Mr. Salisbury said.  In a recent piece authored by Mr. Salisbury (https://cutt.ly/SBDG_CEO_Opinion), the Company’s CEO outlines expectations for SBDG’s future and says the Company “is the best kept secret on the OTC Markets.”

Mr. Salisbury said SBDG is in discussions with four firms in key markets to participate in its strategy.  “Successful acquisitions contribute top and bottom-line revenue as well as providing a reservoir of intellectual talent and human capital.  Our plan is aggressive, and our goal is to become the largest corporate owned firm in our market space.”

Mr. Jue said the Company will undertake a Regulation D Rule 506 (c) private placement for Series B preferred stock to raise $25 million or more to fund this strategy.  These shares would minimize dilution for common shareholders and would provide a strong incentive for purchasers of preferred stock.
