Every business is different.
We don't put a whole bunch of debt on our businesses.
Not to mean we wouldn't put debt, but our job and our focus is to create the value, the real value, which is doing the blocking and the tackling and making sure that the quality doors are getting open.
And for us, like if it's four years, great.
That's what the investment case is.
If it's seven years, great.
But it's really making sure that we have a real informed investment case on
on what we think we can do, what the unit performance is and what we believe we can sell and open in that time frame and then just executing that plan with the founders and the management team.
Yeah, that's the beauty of acceleration services.
It's a it's a nice wrap around the management teams and the capital teams because when we go to board meetings, a lot of times the capital team knows a lot more just as much as the management team as to what's going on with the business.
Yeah, we're in it with them.
So
I mean, that's just a smart way for private equity to do it.
If you've got a really, really solid performance and track record with the management team and you've got good shared services that you can leverage and teams, building out those platforms and adding brands to a good operating system just makes sense, right?
Call center type stuff, finance as a service, all of these generic kind of business functions can be leveraged.
under these platforms and it just it saves cost and it builds value real fast, especially if they're good at opening quality doors.
So inspire brands is a is a really good one on the restaurant front.
Like you said, neighborly on the home service front.
It just makes sense for the teams to have multiple brands underneath it.
Oh, we're five years out.
