Independent Sponsor Capital Markets Post-Close in Education & Training
Introducing Capital Markets Post-Close on education and training deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.
Education & Training deals in the lower middle market run a specific playbook. Capital Markets Post-Close is where the structure either holds or starts to leak.
The typical education and training platform sits at $8M to $90M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $15M range. The thesis runs on private school, training academy, or B2B training platform consolidation. Accreditation continuity is the only thing that matters in the first 30 days post-close.
