How they work
Everfield acquires and operates European vertical-market and specialist software businesses. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in London, it was formed by Aquiline, which lists it as a current investment. Everfield uses a decentralised model: acquired businesses retain their brands and operational autonomy while receiving support with sales, product development, finance, talent and further acquisitions. It describes its ownership approach as permanent, with no intention to resell acquired companies.
Everfield starts with an introductory conversation, a confidentiality agreement and company information, followed by an indicative valuation. Further discussions lead to a letter of intent. Financial, technology, legal and tax due diligence then informs the purchase agreement. Its published process describes roughly three months for due diligence, followed by closing and operational support.
- Sector focus
- Vertical-market and specialist B2B software. Targets own their intellectual property, provide mission-critical products and have strong customer retention, recurring revenue and a record of profitable growth.
- Geography
- Europe, including the UK and Ireland, DACH, France, Iberia, the Nordics, Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.
- Ownership
- Decentralised ownership: companies retain their brands and day-to-day management, with support in sales, product development, finance, accounting, HR and acquisitions.
- Majority or minority
- Everfield describes a full-acquisition approach in its published buy-and-grow strategy. Its February 2024 statement says it aims to acquire all company shares.
- Platform or bolt-on
- Acquires independently managed software companies and supports add-on acquisitions to enter new markets, strengthen market positions or add products.
- Capital model
- A software holding company formed by Aquiline and listed in Aquiline’s current private-equity portfolio. Everfield operates a buy-and-grow model with permanent ownership of acquired businesses.
- Hold period
- Permanent ownership. Everfield says it does not resell acquired companies and has no planned exit timetable.
- Founder ownership
- Founder-led companies are a target. Founders can continue operating the business or agree a succession plan. An August 2026 DACH article says sellers typically stay for at least a year; no standard retained equity percentage is published.
