Support and advice was provided to plan.com regarding the transaction by Clearwater International, by a team which included Mark Taylor, David Grassby, Dan Shrimpton and Dom Moir.
Neil Kelly (pictured), chief financial officer at plan.com, said, “Completing this transaction via a completely remote process, during a global pandemic, really illustrates the strength of our business and is a very positive indicator of market confidence in our sector. Notwithstanding the uncertainty in the global economy, there are opportunities for growth, and this represents a bright future for plan.com.”
The company said the refinancing transaction will allow the business to continue its growth trajectory, enhance its existing SAAS platforms such as ‘my.plan’, further develop its Hosted offering and support a targeted acquisition strategy in the future.
