Buyside advisory, from thesis to exit.
Tetelestai Capital provides buyside M&A advisory for lower-middle-market companies, private equity sponsors, and rollup builders across the Midwest, covering thesis development, transaction execution, and post-close integration.
Buyside Rollup Strategy
Most lower-middle-market advisors work sellside only. Tetelestai leads with the buyside: building the strategy a platform or sponsor needs before a target is ever approached.
Thesis Development
Define the buy box, deal economics, and integration thesis before sourcing begins.
Target Sourcing Support
Identify and approach acquisition targets that fit the platform thesis.
Platform and Tuck-In Underwriting
Model deal economics, synergies, and integration cost for platform and add-on acquisitions.
Embedded Corporate Development
Take the director of corporate development seat: an in-house deal function, without the full-time hire.
Transaction Execution
Once a target is identified, the same team carries the deal to close.
LOI Negotiation and Deal Structuring
Negotiate terms and structure the transaction to match the underlying thesis.
Diligence Coordination
Coordinate financial, legal, and operational diligence workstreams to close on schedule.
Capital Raising
Arrange debt and equity capital to fund the transaction.
CIM Preparation
For sellside engagements, the firm prepares the confidential information memorandum and manages investor outreach.
Post-Close Integration
The engagement does not end at signing. The firm stays through integration and beyond.
Integration Planning
Build the integration plan the deal was underwritten on, with clear ownership and milestones.
Reporting Integration
Bring acquired entities onto a single reporting structure.
Finance Function Buildout
Build the finance function the combined company needs to run and to sell again.
