Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Commercial Door and Gate Companies","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-commercial-door-and-gate-companies","published_at":"2026-07-11T16:58:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-commercial-door-and-gate-companies","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0108.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0108.mp3","summary":"Episode 108 of The Buyout Show explores the quiet roll-up of commercial door and gate service companies. Lucas and Luna examine how private equity firms are consolidating the fragmented market for overhead doors, loading dock equipment, and automatic gates. They break down the economics: why these businesses throw off reliable cash flow, how the average acquisition multiple has risen from 4.5x to 6.5x EBITDA over the past five years, and why labor scarcity is pushing operators to sell. The hosts dig into a specific deal — the 2025 merger of five regional door companies into National Doorworks — and what it signals for the broader industrial service sector. Plus, a candid moment about how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #PrivateEquity #RollUps #BusinessAcquisitions #CommercialDoors #GateCompanies #IndustrialServices #EBITDA #Consolidation #NationalDoorworks #CashFlow #LaborShortage #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusiness #ExitPlanning #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheBuyoutShow #DealRoom Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 108 of The Buyout Show explores the quiet roll-up of commercial door and gate service companies.
