Add-on opportunity bigger than platform

by a searcher

6 months ago

I am evaluating an acquisition opportunity/add-on bigger than the original platform acquisition from a revenue and EBITDA perspective. The potential acquisition would make sense strategically from a revenue growth and market positioning perspective. Some (limited??) operational efficiencies would be gained, but that is yet to be determined.

The combined entity would have revenues greater than $10MM and EBITDA approaching $3MM, with strong EBITDA margins. The platform acquisition was financed via an SBA loan/PG and an equity raise a few years ago. I am looking for feedback/guidance on how to structure the potential transaction, the capital raise (debt and equity), and the removal of PG. 

Thank you in advance!
