PEU Audax Experiences Home Renovation Affiliate Collapse


USA Herald reported:

Renovo Home Partners, a private equity–backed roll-up of home improvement businesses, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Delaware federal court, declaring as much as $500 million in debt across nearly 20 affiliated entities.
The equity loss goes to Boston headquartered Audax, a private equity underwriter (PEU).


The private credit hit goes to BlackRock at "more than $100 million."  BlackRock recently took  a beating on First Brands and Carriox Capital.  

Should anyone want to search BlackRock's various reports for their stated exposure, use HomeRenew Buyer, Inc.   Renovo Home Partners is a dba name for HomeRenew Buyers.

Below is the list of BlackRock Credit Strategies Fund's holdings of HomeRenew Buyer debt as of 12-31-24.  


News stories state most of BlackRock's exposure to Renovo/HomeRenew is under BlackRock TCP Capital.  

The cockroaches are swarming...

Financial crises start when the big money boys no longer trust each other to make good on their debts.
