Family Office Capital Raise Counsel for Specialty Distribution Acquisitions
Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors raising specialty distribution transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.
Every specialty distribution acquisition has its own gravity. Family Office Capital Raise is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.
The typical specialty distribution platform sits at $10M to $100M EV with EBITDA in the $2.5M to $18M range. The thesis runs on vertical buy-up of niche product distributors. Most distribution multiples are wrong by half a turn until the rebate accounting gets normalized.
How Family Office Capital Raise actually gets structured.
Lead with the deal and the structure, not with the firm pitch. Family offices invest in deals first.
Build a Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) deck depending on whether you have a pre-existing relationship.
Confirm accredited or qualified-purchaser status before sharing transactional detail.
Match the LP's preferred check size to the position you can offer in the deal.
In specialty distribution, layer in supplier reaffirmation letters before LOI signs as part of the Family Office Capital Raise workstream.
Pitching family offices the same way you pitch institutional PE. They want shorter conversations and tighter alignment, not a fund deck.
"Family offices are not small institutions. They are sophisticated buyers of single positions. Pitch accordingly."Jason Powell · Family Office Capital Raise
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.
