Fire Protection / Suppression Business need experienced equity partner

Hello I am a top contender to be awarded an LOI for a Fire Protection / Suppression Business. A lot of PE / roll up interest with multiple IOI/LOI's submitted I made it to the top 5 LOI considerations. The sellers like me because I live locally by the business, I have construction & business experience, I am willing to meet them weekly in person/office, and they like my hustle. They do not like that I cannot pay as much as PE (if I were to self fund) and my lack of industry specific experience. Past 3 years: ~$8-15m Revenue ~$1-3m EBITDA . The business mainly does commercial new construction ~96% of revenue. They just started a service division and its growing they did ~$600k from that last year. The 2 owners are willing to stay on 3-5 years post close with a salary and a small equity carry/seller note. I am looking to partner up as the Independent Sponsor on this deal. I need an experienced equity partner in the industry and who can provide the vast majority of the equity. Please respond here if your are interested in discussing in more detail. Thank you for your consideration.
