Integral service around a transaction
BY : Diego GutiérrezNovember Thu, 2016
The BPO is a highly fragmented industry, where acquisitions are necessary to grow and compete in the market. The private equity is aware of this fact and enters Bpo companies to provide them with liquidity, grow them through acquisitions and then sell at a higher value. Some investors, who entered the sector early, such as Talde or 3i, have already successfully divested. Others like Carlyle and Pai Partners have just invested.

Talde and Miura divest BC and win the Ascri award for the best expansion capital transaction

Talde and Miura invested in the BC Group in 2010. This company specialises in mortgage process outsourcing services and the management of registry verifications. In 2015, the private equity firms exited and brought in L-GAM.

During the five years of Talde and Miura's tenure, the BC Group doubled its sales to €100M and tripled its EBITDA to €15M. They also made 10 acquisitions and diversified the traditional mortgage business with two new business divisions that accounted for 33% of the Group's total sales. Among the acquisitions was Ciberlatam, a leader in its sector in Mexico and Chile, which enabled it to expand into emerging markets such as Colombia and Peru.

3i divests in Civica

3ipan-European firm of private equityIn 2013, Civica was sold to OMers Private Equity for around £390M, giving it a return on investment of 2.1x the capital invested in the sale. Civica provides specialised software systems and related services.

3i joined Civica in 2008, and since then Civica has made 10 acquisitions in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Spanish outsourcing companies that are making acquisitions thanks to the recent entry of venture capital

We recently told you that Konecta had just bought Allus, a leading Latin American company in the BPO sector.

Konecta has experienced twelve decisive months in its history. This company specializing in business process outsourcing sealed, a year ago, the landing of the private equity fund PAI Partners that took 40% of the shares. The main objective of this move was to get the company to reach €1,000M in sales in four years (which meant, in practice, doubling its size, since its revenues at the time of the transaction were close to €500M).

Digitex, owned by Carlyle group, last year acquired Microcolsa S.A.S., a Colombian company dedicated to document digitalisation. With this acquisition, the company expands its service offering globally.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
