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 Funeral Homes","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-funeral-homes","published_at":"2026-06-04T16:36:26+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-funeral-homes","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-0031.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0031.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet consolidation of the $20 billion funeral home industry. They explore how private equity firms like Service Corporation International and StoneMor Partners have rolled up thousands of independent funeral homes, creating a fragmented but increasingly corporatized landscape. The conversation centers on a specific case: the acquisition of a family-owned funeral home in Ohio by a PE-backed platform, and what that means for pricing, service quality, and consumer choice. Lucas breaks down the economics, including the high barriers to entry and the recurring revenue model, while Luna questions whether consolidation erodes the personal touch that families value. They also touch on recent regulatory scrutiny and the role of pre-need contracts. A specific, data-driven look at an industry few think about but many will encounter. #PrivateEquity #FuneralHomes #Consolidation #DeathCare #ServiceCorporationInternational #StoneMor #RollUp #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PE #MergersAndAcquisitions #FuneralIndustry #PreNeed #ConsumerChoice #Regulation #Ohio #FamilyOwned Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet consolidation of the $20 billion funeral home industry.
