Ensure the Best Future for Your Client – When your client joins The CORA Group, they have a permanent home. CORA is different than other acquirers because we don’t sell our businesses. We offer a decentralized model for our portfolio companies to operate with the same management and staff, but with additional resources, support, and best practices.
As a general guideline, we are looking for the following:
Technology: We acquire software companies that sell a proprietary solution that is highly tailored to fit the needs of one or more vertical markets.
Industry: Our existing verticals include Construction, Debt Collections & Recovery, Foodservice, Loyalty, Moving & Storage, Legal, etc. We are continuously expanding in our existing verticals as well as adding new verticals via acquisition.
Size: Smaller businesses with as few as a handful of employees and larger businesses with hundreds of employees have found their home at CORA.
Geography: With offices in over 10 countries and customers in many more, borders are not a barrier to acquisition.
The CORA Group operates independently managed software brands around the world, providing them with the strategic guidance and financial security required to be leaders in their respective markets. Today, CORA is proud to supply industry-leading enterprise management software and related services to customers in over 10+ vertical markets.
We are actively looking to have a dialogue with vertical market software leaders and M&A advisors.
