Platform & Add-On Integration for B2B Services Independent Sponsors
Integrating Platform & Add-On Integration on B2B services deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.
Platform & Add-On Integration on B2B services deals is one of those workstreams that looks routine on a checklist and decides outcomes in practice.
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.
How Platform & Add-On Integration actually gets structured.
Plan integration sequencing in the 100-day plan, with clear go-live dates.
Map customer contracts, vendor relationships, and employee benefits for transfer.
Update the platform's operating agreement to reflect new add-on equity and governance.
Coordinate insurance program consolidation across platform and add-on entities.
In B2B services, layer in MSA assignability mapped customer-by-customer as part of the Platform & Add-On Integration workstream.
Leaving the add-on as a parallel entity. The synergies live in the integration, not the addition.
"Integration is when the multiple actually expands. Plan it as a deal, not an aftermath."Jason Powell · Platform & Add-On Integration
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
Most independent sponsors solve the closing capital and then run into the post-close capital problem alone. The capital markets relationships that matter at month 18 are part of this practice.
