Specialty Construction Deals: Family Office Capital Raise Done Right

Raising Family Office Capital Raise on specialty construction deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.

EV range $8M to $110M EV EBITDA $2M to $18M Audience Independent Sponsor
The deal context

An independent sponsor closing specialty construction transactions in the $8M to $110M 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 specialty construction platform sits at $8M to $110M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $18M range. The thesis runs on trade-specific buy-ups (roofing, mechanical, electrical, fire protection). Bonding capacity is the gate. Without it, the independent sponsor deal stalls at the first big project bid post-close.

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 specialty construction, layer in surety pre-qualification for the buyer entity 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.

Refinancing, recaps, growth rounds, and the right strategic conversation eighteen months early are all downstream of relationships that take years to build and minutes to use.
