Guild itself: $40M equity plus an $85M credit facility for its first about 30 deals S101.
Our Year 2 total: $96.9M equity plus $79.3M debt (calculated). Seller rollover of 20% to 30% (the Guild structure) would cut cash equity further.

Risk strip

Air Pros: what not to copy S70 S123

Started 2017 in Florida; Peak Rock 2021 with 10 locations, 250 staff
About 15 month buying streak; $100M+ paid to sellers up front
Each unit kept its own operating model: "a lack of controls" (restructuring officer)
$250M+ debt; Chapter 11 in Mar 2025; seller rollover went to zero

How we avoid it

One back office from day one (Guild rule: ServiceTitan, Sage, ADP)
Debt capped at 3.2x EBITDA in every case (Wrench ran about 9x S65)
Integration team hired before deal 1
