A PPM for business acquisitions, roll-ups, and search funds

The business-acquisition framework follows the core PPM skeleton — cover, suitability, executive summary, use of proceeds, sources and uses, risk factors, entity and security terms, and subscription-process terms — and adds structured inputs for the target company, historical financials, purchase terms, and integration plan. Its suggested risk library includes operating-company topics such as customer concentration, employee retention, integration, diligence, leverage, and exit-multiple risk; no risk is selected automatically.

The wizard does not build a bespoke operating forecast, acquisition waterfall, convertible-note model, or fully reconciled cap table. Deal-specific economics and facts that do not have a dedicated field belong in the relevant narrative section or custom risks, and counsel should review the complete draft and underlying transaction documents.

Use it for a search-fund acquisition of a specific company, a sponsor-led roll-up, or an independent-sponsor deal where capital is being raised against a target under LOI. The shape can also support holding-company raises that plan to deploy capital across multiple operating companies.

If the thesis is primarily real estate or a structured-credit portfolio, review the corresponding workflow before choosing. A real-estate draft and an operating-company acquisition require different risk and financial narratives, so counsel should confirm the starting framework.

An acquisition vehicle may issue common or preferred interests, use seller financing or acquisition debt, and include a preferred return or sponsor promote. A search may also involve separate search-capital and acquisition-capital rounds. The wizard does not choose those terms; each raise needs accurate, deal-specific disclosures, with counsel reconciling the economics and governing documents.
