Leap Partners is equity-funded, not relying on debt for deals

Cerasuolo says higher interest rates have slowed HVAC acquisitions for debt-financed buyers, but Leap is well capitalized with low debt and is not relying on debt to finance its deals; former owners receive cash and shares in Leap.

“Leap buys 100% of all its acquisitions; for their companies, the former owners get cash and shares in Leap, and are relieved of back-office tasks.”
