Corporate Acquirer in Melbourne Looking to Buyout Technology and Digital Marketing Businesses Upto AUD 1 million

We are a cloud analytics platform and managed BI business. We have 25 years of experience in data, analytics, and technology leadership across Australia, Singapore, Germany, France, and India. We have worked with organisations of every size, including global enterprises. Our industries include dairy and food manufacturing, telecommunications, insurance, rail and logistics, FMCG, and oil and retail. Our strength is turning complex data into decisions. Our director led a $25M BI transformation for Australia’s largest dairy business, found $2.5M in raw material savings from machine-level data, consolidated four reporting platforms into one for a €60B telecom (30% infrastructure saving), and rationalised 1,400 reports into 75 across seven countries. He also holds a Microsoft Fabric data engineer certification, an MSc in IT, and PRINCE2 practitioner status. We can help an acquired business grow by adding reporting and analytics, tightening operations and KPIs, and building recurring revenue, while keeping its team and customers in place.

Acquiring / Buying a Business

- We are buying to build capability and customers in data, analytics, and digital services.
- We want businesses that stand on their own brand, systems, and customers, not on the owner.
What we look for.
- Own IP or brand: Proprietary software, a documented method or a recognised brand, not just the owner’s time.
- Recurring revenue: subscriptions, retainers or managed-service contracts, ideally 50%+ of revenue.
- Size: Annual revenue of up to AUD 3M, with an acquisition budget of up to AUD 3M. Full acquisitions only.
- Clean, verifiable financials and consistent profitability.
- Diversified customers: no single customer above ~25% of revenue.
- A team and processes that run without the owner, with the owner open to a 6-12 month handover.
- Geography: Australia, US, UK, India, and Singapore, as we want to grow our presence in these countries.
Sectors we like.
- Data analytics and BI consultancies, and SaaS reporting tools.
- Digital marketing and SEO agencies with retainer clients.
- Managed IT and software services with multi-year contracts.
- Multi-practitioner clinics and healthcare services with a recurring patient base that does not rely on one practitioner.
What we avoid.
- Businesses with no IP or brand value of their own.
- Revenue that depends on the owner’s personal relationships or network.
- Project-only, one-off work with no repeat pipeline.
- Unclear financials, open disputes, or high staff churn.
- Capital-heavy or hardware-based businesses.
