Services

Senior execution capacity for sponsor deal teams.

We sit inside the sponsor's deal team — sourcing, diligence, structuring, and negotiation — and we are generally retained for post-close mandates.

01

Sponsor Buy-Side Advisory

Embedded deal-team support for platforms, add-ons, and carve-outs — providing senior bandwidth from thesis development through closing.

  • Thesis development and target universe mapping
  • Proprietary outreach and relationship cultivation
  • LOI drafting, valuation, and structuring
  • Access to limited-process opportunities via active relationships with lower-middle-market intermediaries (IBs, brokers, sell-side M&A advisors)

02

Transaction Support & Execution

Senior execution capacity for live deals when the sponsor team is stretched or the situation requires dedicated partner-level attention.

  • Third-party diligence coordination (QofE, Tax, Legal, IT)
  • Financial modeling and sensitivity analysis
  • Debt capital markets outreach and financing support
  • PSA negotiation support and closing mechanics orchestration

03

Sell-Side & Strategic Capital

Selective advisory for portfolio company exits and recapitalizations, focusing on situations where senior discretion is paramount.

  • Selective portfolio company divestitures and carve-outs
  • Recapitalizations and growth capital raises
  • Management buyouts and ownership transitions
  • Strategic reviews for sponsor-led exit planning

04

Post-Close Partnership

Ongoing financial and strategic partnership after close — integration oversight, capital sourcing, and platform expansion alongside the sponsor.

  • Post-acquisition integration and performance tracking
  • Lender and investor monitoring and reporting
  • Growth capital and co-investment sourcing
  • Bolt-on identification and structuring for platform expansion

Prism participates alongside sponsors on select transactions and is engaged under consulting mandates.
