Why did this deal suit Alceon Private Equity

  • Rockstar CEO – Growth focused with ability to drive sales team and build business in any climate.
  • Industry of interest – Alceon PE made the strategic decision to invest in mission critical business services e.g. technology management and support. We met with many companies and found most were not growth orientated
  • Right company – Efex is the dominant platform in SME Managed services with 6,000 customers and 18 physical branches in metro and regional cities within the Eastern Seaboard. Efex presented an opportunity for growth via acquisition (we have completed two acquisitions to date, with more on the cards) and organic growth via cross selling to the extensive customer base
