Cross-Border Structuring Counsel for B2B Services Acquisitions
Structuring Cross-Border Structuring on B2B services deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.
An independent sponsor closing B2B services transactions in the $8M to $90M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Cross-Border Structuring stage. Most of them are not in a generic M&A textbook.
The typical B2B services platform sits at $8M to $90M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $18M range. The thesis runs on recurring revenue service platform with bolt-on operators. Most B2B services deals look better in the CIM than in the data room. Skip the CIM, ask for the contracts.

"Cross-border deals need three sets of advisors at the table from day one. Bring them."Jason Powell · Cross-Border Structuring
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
Refinancing, recaps, growth rounds, and the right strategic conversation eighteen months early are all downstream of relationships that take years to build and minutes to use.
