We have advised Perwyn-backed VIXIO Regulatory Intelligence (VIXIO), a global regulatory intelligence specialist, on its refinancing from Shawbrook.

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in London, VIXIO is a leading provider of regulatory, legal, and business intelligence services to the global payments and gambling industries. VIXIO is a subscription-based service that enables operators, regulators, technology providers, and law firms to manage risks and identify new market opportunities.

VIXIO brings together analysis and technology to simplify the monitoring and understanding of regulatory developments. The business provides real-time, actionable insights to help clients gain clarity on complex regulatory changes and make compliance a competitive advantage. 

The VIXIO leadership team, alongside several highly qualified analysts and researchers, lies at the heart of the business, delivering the regulatory intelligence and insights clients need, as it happens. 

In 2022, the business was backed by Perwyn, a long-established European private equity investor. Perwyn’s investment within VIXIO enabled the business to expand the depth of its intelligence platforms, increase geographic penetration, widen the product set, and move into adjacent markets.

The refinancing provided by Shawbrook will support the business with its ambitious growth plans, providing funds to support new product development and strategic bolt-on acquisitions.
