My experience is in franchising, PE portco leadership, healthcare, wellness, and service businesses whether b2b or b2c.

Would love to find a few good companies to evaluate for acquisition that are in the broad range of $7;5 - $25M Ebitda in any of these categories I mentioned above. Personal care, fitness, restaurants/Fast Casual/QSRs, Medspa or similar merger of healthcare and wellness.

Any insights, ideas, connections or redacted

This is a bit larger deal size than typical EtA. You'll want to look at Axial, PEMarketplace, Privsource, BizNexus, Interexo for these larger deals.

I used to work in funded private equity at this exact size of business. ^redacted‌ has the correct answer. You'll need to contact middle market banks directly at this size range. These deals are generally not on platforms like Axial.

It seems like you have this covered but you'll need to have a few sectors of focus as most bankers are specialists. So ideally you'll need to find the Consumer banker.

If you don't have a dedicated fund, you'll need to immediately answer the question where the capital is coming from to be shown any deal flow. Banks will often send materials to 200+ funded private equity firms and thus have no incentive to show to an unfunded group.
