The acquirer is a well-established provider of HR and recruitment software solutions, with a strong presence in the UK. Their client base spans across multiple sectors including retail, government, education, and care. Backed by private equity, they are looking to grow through the strategic acquisition of complementary software businesses.

Industry Focus:

They are looking to expand within the HR technology and education software space, with a particular interest in companies developing software solutions for recruitment, candidate management, learning platforms, or HR compliance. They are open to both on-premise and cloud-based platforms, especially those with demonstrable product-market fit in the UK.

Target Market:

Target companies should be established developers of education or recruitment-related software. Those with proven technology, recurring revenue models, and a loyal customer base across sectors such as education, local government, healthcare, and commercial recruitment are of particular interest. Software that improves hiring efficiency, compliance, onboarding, or workforce training will be prioritised.

Financial Performance:

The buyer is targeting businesses with annual turnover in excess of £500,000. Preference will be given to companies that demonstrate profitable or near-profitable operations, with opportunities to scale. Strong retention rates and contractual revenues (SaaS or licence-based models) are considered highly desirable.
