72M in Revenue, 17M in EBITDA Deal
Am I crazy? A PE platform tried to acquire my small business but didn't get across the finish line. Knowing they are late in their hold period and getting antsy to sell, I flipped the question and asked if they would entertain an offer if the capital was available (which it currently is not), and the answer was yes. I expected EBITDA closer to 5M, but told it’s at 17M. This would likely be 150-200M deal, is there any world that money could be raised to tackle this acquisition for a long-term/permanent hold? I am in the industry and really believe in the company, and it of course has a solid team and structures in place. Would love anyone’s thoughts. Posting anonymous for now, but if anyone is interested in discussing further, I’ll send you a direct message!
