Middle Market Council
SBIA’s Middle Market Council is dedicated to serving private equity firms focused on growing the smaller end of
the middle market. These investing firms find “little leading” companies that are ripe for growth and innovation.
The Council provides a members-only forum for financial and operational experts to discuss issues, market data,
and best practices to foster successful outcomes for their portfolio companies, their employees,
and for policymakers in Washington.
