The business operates as one of Australia’s largest lending management solutions, servicing a wide range of lending and rental needs for both consumers and businesses. It provides comprehensive front and back-office support, including calculators, compliance, and documentation. Since its establishment in 2004, the platform has undergone significant evolution, allowing it to potentially penetrate various industries such as Banking and Insurance. Its subscription-based model, coupled with expansion into markets like South Africa, New Zealand, the United States, and soon England, suggests promising revenue streams and growth potential. The business is managed by two owners who combine their expertise in development, compliance, sales, onboarding, and support, ensuring effective operation across all facets. Integration with CRM platforms like Salesforce and Zappli further enhances its value proposition, offering a seamless solution for existing and new lenders.

One month as part of the sale; 

- Owner 1 is prepared to stay 18 months to 2 years in an advisory capacity on client relations and compliance as a paid consultant on a gradually decreasing basis

- Owner 2 is prepared to stay 12 months in a system advisory capacity on system issues as a paid consultant on a gradually decreasing basis.

The proposed asking price diverges from conventional valuation methods, making it less attractive to equity firms, investors, and other buyers seeking market value-based approaches. Given the business’s specific requirements, including ongoing software development and compliance with lending regulations for both consumers and businesses, it is better suited for large lenders utilising nonproprietary platforms or specialised software companies in the financial sector seeking synergies.

Although the business has expanded into various countries, further customer acquisition in these regions would necessitate a dedicated marketing budget and additional working capital. This consideration underscores the need for potential buyers to have the resources and strategic vision to support and capitalise on the business’s growth potential.

Asking Price: Offers over A$3,300,000 or US$2,300,000
