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 Cremation Services","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-cremation-services","published_at":"2026-06-20T16:45:39+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-cremation-services","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-0064.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0064.mp3","summary":"Private equity has quietly consolidated a surprising industry: cremation services. Lucas and Luna explore how firms like Service Corporation International and smaller PE-backed players have rolled up funeral homes and crematories, driven by demographic shifts and margin logic. With cremation rates in the U.S. crossing 60% in 2025, the economics are shifting — and PE is paying attention. They break down the numbers: a typical cremation generates $1,500–$3,000 in revenue versus $7,000–$10,000 for a traditional burial, but the operating margins are wider and the capital requirements lower. The hosts discuss the consolidation playbook, the regulatory hurdles, and why this roll-up wave hasn't hit the headlines like dental or vet practices. A specific look at how death care became a slow-burn PE target. #PrivateEquity #CremationServices #DeathCare #FuneralHomes #ServiceCorporationInternational #RollUp #Consolidation #Demographics #Investing #BusinessStrategy #Finance #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #PEPlaybook #CremationRates #DeathIndustry #MergersAndAcquisitions #EconomicTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Private equity has quietly consolidated a surprising industry: cremation services.
