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 Home Services Franchises","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-home-services-franchises","published_at":"2026-06-07T16:38:36+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-home-services-franchises","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-0037.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0037.mp3","summary":"Episode 37 of The Buyout Show examines the quiet consolidation of home services — specifically how private equity firms are rolling up HVAC, plumbing, and electrical franchises one territory at a time. Lucas and Luna break down the business model using a real example: the acquisition spree behind Service Experts and how it squares with a $250 billion market that's 90 percent mom-and-pop operators. They discuss why private equity loves recurring revenue contracts like maintenance plans, the risk of overpaying for growth, and whether the model works when interest rates are above 5 percent. The conversation stays grounded in specific numbers, including typical EBITDA multiples paid for these franchises and the retention rates buyers expect from acquired technicians. No hot takes, just a clear look at how your repair bill is connected to a deal memo. #PrivateEquity #HomeServices #HVAC #RollUps #BusinessAcquisitions #Franchise #ServiceExperts #EBITDAMultiples #RecurringRevenue #Consolidation #Plumbing #Electrical #LBO #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Finance #Investing #BuyoutShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 37 of The Buyout Show examines the quiet consolidation of home services — specifically how private equity firms are rolling up HVAC, plumbing, and…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":663,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/episodes/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-home-services-franchises/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-home-services-franchises.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
