CASE STUDY AGILITAS IT SOLUTIONS
Agilitas is a leading provider of global technology solutions to the IT channel, specialising in software enabled “Inventory as a Service”. It is a mission critical partner for its clients across the IT channel from OEMs to managed service providers, operating in over 65 countries worldwide. The business was initially backed by NVM Private Equity in 2014, with the investment fuelling Agilitas’ growth plans nationally and internationally. Through extension of service capability and increase of geographical foot print, the business delivered double digit growth and margin enhancement over the course of NVM’s investment. In 2020, the time was right for NVM to realise the value created and find a new partner for management to execute the next phase of growth. BDO was engaged to run a full sell-side process, working closely with management and NVM from the outset to prepare the company for sale. The team quickly developed its understanding of a complex business, utilising its expertise in the IT channel to positon value drivers, overcome key commercial issues and articulate the growth story appropriately. BDO’s established relationships within the UK and International PE mid-market ensured a short list of credible investors to deliver a highly efficient and competitive process. The result was an incredibly successful outcome for all stakeholders. NVM exited in full realising an 8.4x return and management secured a new investment partner in Perwyn Private Equity with the requisite resource to accelerate the growth plan and execute a number of transformational opportunities.
