The deal context

The economics on a industrial services platform deal usually hinge on a handful of structural decisions. Change of Control Consents is one of them.

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 Change of Control Consents actually gets structured.

  1. Build a consent matrix from the data room contracts.

  2. Sort consents into required, prudent, and informational categories.

  3. Assign owners and deadlines for each consent.

  4. Track consent progress in a single closing dashboard.

  5. In industrial services, layer in MSA renewal calendar mapped pre-LOI as part of the Change of Control Consents workstream.

The common mistake

Discovering a required consent on the day before close. The signing slips, the deal team loses leverage.

Jason's take
"Consents are a project, not a footnote. Run them like a project."

Capital after close

The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.

The capital that opens up post-close, from refinancing to growth equity to strategic exit, runs through a small set of Wall Street relationships. That network is built in.
