TDR had been following the European serial acquirer space for a number of years, given the attractive financial profile of the business model and the growth opportunity around the fragmented underlying SME market.
We were attracted to CorpAcq due to its diversified and resilient portfolio and its strong track record of sourcing new businesses to acquire. The business benefits from a strong reputation as a buyer, supported by its long-term investment horizon and light-touch operational approach.
We saw the opportunity to support the management team with additional capital and expertise to accelerate the pace of acquisitions, enhance origination through data analytics and reposition the business closer to best-in-class European serial acquirers.
The senior leadership team has been strengthened with several new recruits bringing expertise to support the next phase of growth.
Clear criteria have been established to create a targeted origination pipeline and acquisitions are continuing apace and delivering strong financial performance.
Data-driven tools are being introduced to support the origination process and portfolio monitoring, supporting a more systematic approach to sourcing new investments and performance oversight.
