Investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Capital Partners (“MSCP”) today announced they have entered an agreement for the sale of Sila Services (“Sila” or the “Company”) to the Private Equity business at Goldman Sachs Alternatives (“Goldman Sachs”). As part of the transaction, Sila management will continue to lead the Company and retain a significant minority stake. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, Sila is a leading provider of residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical services operating across the U.S. Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Since MSCP’s investment in 2021, Sila has rapidly developed into a residential services leader through a combination of consistently strong organic growth, strategic M&A and significant platform capability building. Built upon core values of putting people first and prioritizing customer service, Sila is dedicated to providing a distinctive level of quality across every aspect of the customer experience journey.

“We are proud to have partnered with Jason Rabbino and the Sila team as they built an industry-leading residential services platform,” said Adam Shaw, Managing Director and Head of Business Services at MSCP. “Sila has cemented itself as a differentiated, high-growth business in the sector, and we have appreciated the opportunity to partner with the entire Sila team during this period of transformational growth. We are extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication over the past few years.”

“I am very proud of what Sila’s team has accomplished in partnership with MSCP during this chapter of the Company’s growth to build Sila into a truly distinctive residential services operating company emphasizing careers for tradespeople and customer excellence,” said Jason Rabbino, Chief Executive Officer of Sila. “MSCP has been a highly value-added partner to the entire Sila team, steadfastly supporting our organic growth ambitions, operational initiatives and differentiated M&A approach with owners. We thank MSCP for their tremendous contributions in building Sila into the business it is today.”

Sila was MSCP’s first investment in and now its first exit from the distributed field services sector, which has become a core sub-sector within MSCP’s Business Services vertical. Since investing in Sila in 2021, MSCP has partnered with a number of other businesses across the distributed field services sub-sector, including outdoor home care and maintenance provider Fairway Services, residential roofing company Allstar Services, outsourced HOA management services provider RowCal, and residential and commercial mitigation and restoration company American Restoration.

Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

William Blair acted as lead financial advisor to Sila, with co-advisory support from Robert W. Baird & Co. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP served as legal advisor to MSCP. Goldman Sachs & Co LLC served as exclusive financial advisor and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP served as legal counsel to Goldman Sachs.
