Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors raising wealth advisors and RIAs transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.

EV range $10M to $180M EV EBITDA $3M to $25M Audience Independent Sponsor
The deal context

Every wealth advisors and RIAs acquisition has its own gravity. Family Office Capital Raise is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.

The typical wealth advisors and RIAs platform sits at $10M to $180M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $25M range. The thesis runs on RIA aggregation or wealth platform roll-up. Client consent process is the longest pole. Start it the day after the LOI signs.

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 wealth advisors and RIAs, layer in negative consent process timed with regulators 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.
