The deal context

Logistics & Distribution deals in the lower middle market run a specific playbook. Family Office Capital Raise is where the structure either holds or starts to leak.

The typical logistics and distribution platform sits at $12M to $140M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $22M range. The thesis runs on regional acquisitions of brokerages, 3PLs, and last-mile operators. Fuel-volatile years make for clean entry multiples. Read the math, not the narrative.

The moves

How Family Office Capital Raise actually gets structured.

  1. Lead with the deal and the structure, not with the firm pitch. Family offices invest in deals first.

  2. Build a Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) deck depending on whether you have a pre-existing relationship.

  3. Confirm accredited or qualified-purchaser status before sharing transactional detail.

  4. Match the LP's preferred check size to the position you can offer in the deal.

  5. In logistics and distribution, layer in earnout indexed to gross margin, not revenue as part of the Family Office Capital Raise workstream.

The common mistake

Pitching family offices the same way you pitch institutional PE. They want shorter conversations and tighter alignment, not a fund deck.

Jason's take
"Family offices are not small institutions. They are sophisticated buyers of single positions. Pitch accordingly."

Capital after close

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

Capital after close is where the IRR actually gets made. The right introductions at month nine through month thirty are where this practice works as hard as it does at the LOI.
