INC'D Information

INC’D places operators into PE-backed essential services platforms across North America. WHO WE PLACE GM, Director, VP, and C-suite operators. For platforms, sponsors, and operators. Have integrated tuck-ins. Have built dispatch density. Have led platform M&A. Do not need the business explained on day one. 18+ ESSENTIAL SERVICES VERTICALS HVAC. Plumbing. Pest Control. Electrical. Roofing. Fiber & Broadband. Restoration. Fire/Life Safety & Security. Elevator. Cleaning. Solar & Energy. Garage Doors. Pool Service. Lawn Care & Outdoor. Painting. Junk Removal. Home Automation. Home Improvement. Essential because the work has to happen. The AC fails. The pipe leaks. The network goes down. None of it waits for a better cycle. That’s why these categories hold their multiples while others compress. WHY IT MATTERS There is a version of executive search that works well for most industries. For PE-backed essential services, it consistently falls short. The difference between an executive who looks right on paper and one who can actually run a PE-backed platform at scale is wide enough that the wrong hire costs more than the search. Most search failures in this space are not sourcing failures. They are fit failures. Fit is the gap. Most firms leave it open. We closed it. Right operator in the seat. Multiple holds. Value plan executes. Bolt-ons integrate. Exit prints at premium. Wrong operator: compression on every line. COMMERCIAL MODEL Our fee is attached to the seat, not the size of the offer letter. No incentive to push compensation that hits your EBITDA. Built for how sponsors and operators protect multiples. Not how legacy search firms prefer to invoice. Your value creation plan does not wait. Neither does the seat.
