Co-Investment Rights for Industrial Services Independent Sponsors
When the deal is industrial services and the question is Co-Investment Rights, the structure decisions in the first 30 days outlast the next five years. This is where Jason Powell works.
Co-Investment Rights on industrial services deals is one of those workstreams that looks routine on a checklist and decides outcomes in practice.
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.
How Co-Investment Rights actually gets structured.
Define co-invest rights pro-rata to the LP's deal commitment.
Build a 30-day decision window so the deal does not stall.
Limit co-invest fees and carry, if any, to reflect the relationship value.
Document the right in the LPA, not in a side letter.
In industrial services, layer in MSA renewal calendar mapped pre-LOI as part of the Co-Investment Rights workstream.
Granting unlimited co-invest. The next LP finds out and your firm economics suffer.
"Co-investment is a privilege you give to the LPs you want to keep. Define it accordingly."Jason Powell · Co-Investment Rights
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
Most independent sponsors solve the closing capital and then run into the post-close capital problem alone. The capital markets relationships that matter at month 18 are part of this practice.
