About the client
Our client was a leading name in the education technology sector in Australasia. They specialised in providing student management systems for education providers, offering diverse integrated solutions for administrative and educational functions. Their comprehensive suite of tools assisted educators in attracting new students and managing them throughout their lifecycle, from lead generation to graduation.
Key challenge
The founders initially secured capital from a well-respected private investor to support the company’s growth. However, they soon realised the need for a larger balance sheet and organisational support to capitalise on burgeoning global opportunities, making a decision to reach out for sale.
Solution
Right Click Partners was engaged as the exclusive M&A advisor for this trade sale. Our multi-faceted approach encompassed:
- Strategic advisory: we crafted a compelling narrative about the client’s strengths and strategic opportunities, involving financial forecasting, comprehensive modeling and ensuring they were sale ready
- International outreach: leveraging our extensive network, we reached out to potential acquirers across the US, UK, and Asia Pacific regions
- Expert recommendations: we referred reliable lawyers and accountants, ensuring regulatory compliance and smooth due diligence
Outcome
The trade sales process attracted multiple international parties, leading to a competitive bidding situation. Our client was able to secure a compelling offer that provided a strong return for the founders and the investor. The acquirer’s resources allowed the client to leverage growth opportunities globally, while continuing to innovate and serve their customers with exceptional education solutions.
“Through their channels, we found Right Click Partners were able to open a number of doors in the US, UK and also across the APAC region; this meant that the pool of potential partners was vast and we did not want for interest or options! It was not just the number of contacts but, more importantly, access at the right levels that was a key to a rapid and successful outcome for us.” – Founder
