Has Banyan Software approached you? Here’s what to do.

How they work

Banyan Software acquires established vertical and enterprise software businesses and holds them for the long term. It focuses on profitable niche businesses with recurring revenue and strong customer retention. Management teams retain responsibility for daily operations, supported by an operating leader, a peer network and specialists in product, AI, talent and finance.

Banyan starts with a confidential discussion of the business and the owner’s goals. It then assesses fit, valuation, deal structure and the owner’s future role before financial, commercial, legal, technical and operational diligence. Closing includes an agreed leadership transition. Banyan says timing depends on complexity, information readiness and the owner’s preferred pace.

Sector focus
Established vertical or enterprise software with a defensible niche, recurring revenue, strong retention and a committed team. It invests across industries rather than one sector.
Geography
Acquires software businesses worldwide, with operating locations across North America, Europe and Australia.
Ownership
Permanent, decentralised ownership. Management runs daily operations with guidance from an operating leader and access to group specialists.
Platform or bolt-on
Acquires independent software businesses and supports additions to existing operating companies, including Software Answers and The Lake Companies. No standard platform-versus-bolt-on split is published.
Target revenue
More than $2 million in annual revenue is the stated starting point. Near-threshold businesses are considered in the context of overall fit.
Capital model
Permanent capital and a buy-and-hold-for-life model, without a fund-driven resale deadline.
Hold period
Intends to hold and grow acquired businesses for life, with no planned resale date.
Founder ownership
Owners may stay in charge, move to another role, step back gradually or leave at closing. The transition and transaction structure are agreed with the owner.
