We have advised Ansor LLP-backed FourCentric, a leader in procurement, supply chain, and operations improvement services, on raising acquisition facilities to support its buy and build strategy. 

FourCentric unites the distinct strengths of six interconnected businesses, delivering end-to-end, tangible value across procurement, supply chain, operations, and analytics. With a focus on delivering strategic, high-impact services and solutions for businesses worldwide, FourCentric is committed to helping clients reduce costs, optimise operations, and transform their procurement, supply chain, and operations to achieve long-term success.

As a result of this, FourCentric has acquired Evolve Commercial Ltd (Evolve Commercial), a UK specialist in Commercial as a Service (CaaS), providing technology procurement and supply-chain support across both public and private sectors. The acquisition of Evolve Commercial enhances the company’s capability to help UK government departments and private organisations efficiently optimise contracting for high-value and complex projects. 

The addition of Evolve Commercial enhances FourCentric’s ability to build long-term partnerships with clients by offering new ways to drive value and improve operational performance.

More about the process

Our Debt Advisory team ran a competitive process and secured a tailored debt financing solution from a number of interested lenders that met the needs of FourCentric's growth strategy.

The finance was secured from Beechbrook Capital, which provided day-1 funding for the acquisition of Evolve Commercial and follow-on committed facilities to support the M&A growth strategy. This funding will enable the business to build on its strong market momentum, execute expansion plans, and scale operations, marking an exciting milestone in the delivery of its strategic objectives.

Clearwater played a pivotal role in helping us secure the right financing to deliver on our buy and build ambitions. Their deep understanding of the debt market and ability to structure a solution that supports both immediate acquisitions and future growth were invaluable.

We’re thrilled to welcome Evolve to the group. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our strategy to deliver commercial services in support of complex technology transactions throughout the commercial lifecycle.

Rohit Moudgil, CFO, FourCentric

We’re delighted to have supported FourCentric in raising acquisition facilities to underpin its growth strategy. The team’s vision to create a market-leading procurement and supply chain group is compelling, and this funding provides the platform to execute that plan. It’s been a pleasure working with Simon, Rohit, and the wider team to deliver a solution that supports both immediate and future ambitions.
