Family Office Capital Raise Counsel for Multi-Unit Restaurants Acquisitions

When the deal is multi-unit restaurants and the question is Family Office Capital Raise, the structure decisions in the first 30 days outlast the next five years. This is where Jason Powell works.

EV range $8M to $80M EV EBITDA $2M to $14M Audience Independent Sponsor
The deal context

An independent sponsor closing multi-unit restaurants transactions in the $8M to $80M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Family Office Capital Raise stage. Most of them are not in a generic M&A textbook.

The typical multi-unit restaurants platform sits at $8M to $80M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $14M range. The thesis runs on franchisee roll-up or regional concept acquisition. The franchisor consent letter is the deal. Get it lined up before you spend money on diligence.

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 multi-unit restaurants, layer in franchisor LOI letter requested before market 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."

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.
