Technology that keeps up with the deal.
We know where technology gets in the way of a deal. For private equity groups, we build every agreement around your plan, with the end in mind.
Buy.Build.Sell.We plan your technology around all three.
Standard IT and equipment contracts assume a company never changes hands. For private equity groups, we write each one knowing it will.
We know how private equity works.
A platform company picks up add-ons. A division gets carved out and sold. A hold period ends and the whole business goes to a new owner. Each of those moments runs on a deadline, and the technology has to keep working through all of it.
That is where the usual vendor contract gets in the way. Long terms, automatic renewals and fees on a change of ownership turn a routine close into a negotiation. A private equity group does not get our standard agreement. We write each one with you, around how you plan to buy, hold and sell, and we tell you what to look for in a target before it becomes your problem.
Written for your deal, with the end in mind.
When you acquire
New companies join without starting over.
- Add a new add-on to the agreement you already have
- Line up end dates so the portfolio renews together
- Keep the seller's equipment where it still makes sense
When you sell or carve out
The agreement goes where the business goes.
- Assign it to the buyer so it travels with the company
- Split it cleanly when one business leaves the group
- Keep services running through the transition period
The agreement is never the thing holding up a close.We write it with you for the deal you have planned. When the day comes, there is nothing to renegotiate.
What to check before you close.
Technology rarely stops a deal. It shows up afterward, as costs the new owner did not plan for. These are the ones we look for.
| Area | What can go wrong | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment leases | Automatic renewals, expensive buyouts, or equipment the seller thinks they own but actually lease. | Who owns each machine, when each lease ends and what it costs to get out. |
| Service contracts | Terms that renew on their own, or charge a fee when ownership changes. | Renewal dates, notice periods and change-of-ownership terms. |
| Microsoft 365 and software | Licenses in the wrong name, or tied to the seller's parent company. | Who holds each license, and whether it can move with the business. |
| Domains and admin access | The domain or admin passwords sitting with a former employee or the old IT provider. | Who controls the domain, email and admin accounts on day one. |
| Phone numbers | Numbers the business cannot take with it. | Who the numbers belong to, and whether they can be moved. |
| Security and backups | No multi-factor sign-in, backups nobody has tested, or an incident nobody mentioned. | Sign-in protection, backup tests, security tools and what the cyber insurer requires. |
| Aging hardware | Computers, servers and network gear that all need replacing in year one. | The age and support status of every device. |
The review is free. You get a written report in plain terms, so what we find can be weighed before you sign.
From diligence to exit.
- Before closeWe review the target's technology, leases and contracts at no charge, and send you a written report of what to watch for.
- Day oneAccess, email and phones keep working the morning after close. Then we bring the company onto your standards.
- Every add-onEach new company joins the agreements we built with you and the same standards, instead of another set of vendors.
- ExitClean records and contracts that transfer, so technology is not an open question in the buyer's diligence.
Questions from private equity firms.
Do you work with the firm or the portfolio companies?
Both. We talk to the deal team before close and look after the companies after it.
Can you look at a company before we close?
Yes, at no charge. We review its technology, equipment leases and service contracts, and send you a written report of what to watch for.
What happens to our agreement if we sell a company?
We plan for that at the start. With a private equity group we write the agreement so it can be assigned to the buyer or ended cleanly, whichever the deal needs.
Is this your standard agreement?
No. Our standard agreement assumes a company keeps the same owner. For private equity groups we write the terms around your hold period and your exit.
Can you help with a carve-out?
Yes. We help separate email, files, phones and equipment from the parent company on the timeline the deal sets.
Not all of our companies are in Florida.
That is fine. We cover the entire country, and you keep one point of contact.
