Equity Rollover Counsel for Home Services Acquisitions
Independent sponsor counsel for home services, focused on Equity Rollover and the deal mechanics that protect sponsor economics and LP alignment.
An independent sponsor closing home services transactions in the $8M to $80M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Equity Rollover stage. Most of them are not in a generic M&A textbook.
The typical home services platform sits at $8M to $80M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $15M range. The thesis runs on regional roll-ups of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operators. The cleanest home services deals close in 60 days from LOI. The mess is almost always in the licenses, not the financials.
How Equity Rollover actually gets structured.
Anchor on 15 to 25 percent rollover for a clean alignment story.
Treat rollover as tax-deferred under Section 351 or 721 where the structure allows.
Document tag-along and drag-along rights at the rollover level, not just at the LP level.
Cap exit veto rights for rolled equity to avoid future deadlock.
In home services, layer in working capital peg that survives a slow February as part of the Equity Rollover workstream.
Rolling at the wrong entity level, triggering an immediate tax event on what was supposed to be deferred.
"Rollover is the cheapest alignment tool on the table. Use it; do not abuse it."Jason Powell · Equity Rollover
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
After close, the call list for refinancing, recapitalization, and growth equity gets short and known. Jason carries that list.
