Have have been reading that under 1202 for stock to meet QSBS requirements that a technology company is qualified but a engineering services company is not.  The company does both engineering services and production of electronic equipment.

To qualify as a qualified small business stock (QSBS), rhe corporation must be in a business other than one involving personal services; banking, insurance, financing, leasing, or investing; farming; mining; or operating a hotel, motel, or restaurant. Essentially, then, permissible businesses include manufacturing, retailing, technology, and wholesaling.

 

Engineering services are not personal services and would qualify.
