Platform & Add-On Integration Counsel for Home Services Acquisitions

Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors integrating home services transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.

The deal context

An independent sponsor closing home services transactions in the $8M to $80M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Platform & Add-On Integration 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.

The moves

How Platform & Add-On Integration actually gets structured.

  1. Plan integration sequencing in the 100-day plan, with clear go-live dates.

  2. Map customer contracts, vendor relationships, and employee benefits for transfer.

  3. Update the platform's operating agreement to reflect new add-on equity and governance.

  4. Coordinate insurance program consolidation across platform and add-on entities.

  5. In home services, layer in working capital peg that survives a slow February as part of the Platform & Add-On Integration workstream.

The common mistake

Leaving the add-on as a parallel entity. The synergies live in the integration, not the addition.

Jason's take
"Integration is when the multiple actually expands. Plan it as a deal, not an aftermath."

Capital after close

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.
