Capital Partner LPA for Waste & Recycling Independent Sponsors
When the deal is waste and recycling and the question is Capital Partner LPA, the structure decisions in the first 30 days outlast the next five years. This is where Jason Powell works.
Waste & Recycling deals in the lower middle market run a specific playbook. Capital Partner LPA is where the structure either holds or starts to leak.
The typical waste and recycling platform sits at $12M to $150M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $25M range. The thesis runs on regional hauler or transfer station consolidation. Permitted volume is the asset, not the trucks. Diligence the permits before the EBITDA.
How Capital Partner LPA actually gets structured.
Anchor on a 20 percent carry above an 8 percent preferred return, 50/50 catch-up.
Build a one-vote, one-LP majority for any waterfall change.
Define key-person and removal-for-cause provisions narrowly.
Make distributions quarterly, with an annual true-up against the waterfall.
In waste and recycling, layer in permit transfer applications filed before LOI signing as part of the Capital Partner LPA workstream.
Reusing a fund LPA template for a deal-by-deal structure. The economics, governance, and waterfall need to be different.
"The LPA outlives the deal. Draft it like the next ten deals will be governed by the same paper."Jason Powell · Capital Partner LPA
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.
