Mission Critical Component Roll Up Project

I am founding an industrial group focused on critical components, where one company has already been identified and exclusivity has been signed (1.2M EBITDA-2.8 EV) We aim to reach €12M EBITDA by acquiring 8 to 10 companies. 2 companies already in pipeline (3.5M EBITDA). The investment thesis is clear: we acquire certified mechanical workshops which have high margins compressed multiples due to lack of succession. We focus on small companies that play a real role in critical parts of these industries — businesses with vertical know-how but sharable industrial capacity, so we can build a platform at production level while remaining vertical on the skills of these niche markets. Only companies with high potential for Revenue or EBITDA increase will be considered. We already have a pipeline of several companies. The Italian market is abundant in these entities, while lacking financial players looking for companies below €3M EBITDA. Exit strategy: 7 years for the whole group. We are asking for €1.2M for the first acquisition (in order to secure the first target), with a second roll-up round of €25M.
