CapitalPad offers approved accredited investors access to curated lower-middle market M&A deals.
These are deals from sponsors (frequently called “self-funded searchers” or “independent sponsors” who are acquiring an existing, historically profitable, SMB.
These are profit-focused deals, not venture capital style
CapitalPad is not for startups.
Deals are generally with well-established companies with multi-year track records. Typical examples are home services (HVAC, plumbing), consumer services (dry cleaners, towing), light manufacturing, and digital services (IT services, agencies).
The acquirers partner with accredited investors on CapitalPad to fund the deal.
Investors receive equity and share in a company’s future cash distributions from operations (profit share) and any capital gains upon an exit, if the company is sold in the future.
If approved to be an investor, users are given access to the CapitalPad dashboard.
Inside, deals are posted when and if they become available.
Each deal includes a detailed data room, including a business description, investor terms, models, historical financial statements, sponsor profiles, and extensive access to due diligence documents.
Accredited investors choose to co-invest on a per-deal basis.
