The target is a SaaS Software Company that has been growing its user-base and financials since inception over 13 year ago. With a solid foundation and record, this company is the #2 market-ranked Windows application builder software provider in the industry. The software provides the architecture and software base that software providers (large and small) require to deliver product to end-users and customers – a multi-OS compatible installer package that safely and properly installs the software in question onto the device of the end user.
The company won Microsoft’s prestigious Sim-Ship Award in 2015, and has been listed in the Top 50 Publisher / Top 100 Products on ComponentSource throughout 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and was listed in the Top 100 Publishers overall for 2010. The Company has been named a \\\”Leader of the Software Development Industry\\\” and issued \\\”Reader\\\’s Choice\\\” Awards multiple years running. The Company was awarded a Community Award recently, rounding out a supremely established presence in the software development community.
Current ownership has built a solid code base that needs only to be upgraded annually as Microsoft launches new features, among other industry trends that must be kept pace with. The right buyer for this company should have a strong background in software sales and marketing segments to effectively grow this business. Its primary competitor was sold for $78M USD in 2004, and again for $200M USD in 2008. In the right hands, this one-of-a-kind home-run opportunity is a goldmine yet to be tapped due to its almost entirely organically-built presence – new ownership need only take the wheel and press ahead.
It currently operates under a highly efficient and lean operating structure and the business is automated, globally distributed and sustained by highly motivated employees. This would be a great bolt-on opportunity for another Software Company, or a solid foundation for one wanting to get into the lucrative SaaS model.
