Capital Markets Post-Close Counsel for Industrial Services Acquisitions

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

EV range $10M to $130M EV EBITDA $3M to $22M Audience Independent Sponsor
The deal context

Every industrial services acquisition has its own gravity. Capital Markets Post-Close is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.

The typical industrial services platform sits at $10M to $130M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $22M range. The thesis runs on regional consolidation of plant maintenance, specialty contracting, or rentals. An EMR over 1.0 will cost you a half-turn at close unless you fix the story upfront.

The moves

How Capital Markets Post-Close actually gets structured.

  1. Refinance senior debt at the 12 to 18 month mark when EBITDA growth supports it.

  2. Plan a dividend recap or partial liquidity event at the right margin and leverage profile.

  3. Source growth equity from capital partners with deeper checks than the original LP base.

  4. Build a relationship with strategic acquirers years before the exit window opens.

  5. In industrial services, layer in MSA renewal calendar mapped pre-LOI as part of the Capital Markets Post-Close workstream.

The common mistake

Waiting until the exit to think about capital markets. The relationships should be working months before you need them.

Jason's take
"The right introduction in month nine can be worth more than the original equity round. The call list is short and known."

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.
