Ethan Wolfe

Private equity interest in facility services has been steady for years. In this presentation, Ethan Wolfe, Parter at Clairvest, will explore why the industry’s recurring and non-discretionary revenue, essential-service nature, and fragmented market structure make it attractive to private equity, and what a financial partnership can mean for entrepreneurs. The discussion will cover the benefits of a potential partnership, the behaviours shared by the best entrepreneurial companies and private equity firms, and the full partnership landscape, from funding growth through cash flow and debt to minority equity, majority equity, and strategic sales. The speaker will conclude with how private equity support can drive value creation, illustrated through select case studies. Sponsored by:
