We have advised Business Modelling Applications (BMA), a leading software and services platform that provides decision intelligence for utility companies and asset-intensive infrastructure operators, on its investment from FPE.  

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Leeds, BMA has developed Decisio™, a proprietary infrastructure intelligence platform. Decisio™ supports customers with AI-assisted connected infrastructure planning across time and place to unlock investment, streamline capital project delivery, and improve operational performance. The investment from FPE represents the next evolution of BMA’s mission: helping critical infrastructure customers make the right decision, in the right place, at the right time. 

With FPE’s support, the business will accelerate product and technology development, build out its executive team, and invest in its go-to-market function to expand its presence across UK utilities and into adjacent regulated infrastructure markets. 

By combining a vertically focused software platform, enriched by pooled client and third-party data, with a high-touch service model, BMA is well positioned to offer a differentiated solution at a time when operators are increasingly required to invest in the long-term modernisation of legacy infrastructure, and need support to do so.

Our customers face increasingly complex investment and operational decisions under tight regulatory, financial, and decarbonisation conditions. Decisio™ gives them the tools to make those decisions with confidence. With FPE’s support, we will accelerate product innovation, strengthen our delivery capability and continue investing in the technology, people and expertise that help our customers achieve better outcomes. Our ambition is to build a truly differentiated, AI-native decision intelligence business for the infrastructure sector.

Michael Avant-Smith, CEO, BMA

BMA is exactly the kind of business FPE is delighted to support: a software platform delivering a high-quality customer experience to a highly referenceable customer base, addressing a critical market need and offering significant opportunities for future growth. We look forward to supporting them as they continue to scale the business.

Connor Trendell, Investment Director, FPE

We’re thrilled to have helped BMA secure investment from FPE, an investor with extensive experience of scaling high-potential software businesses. BMA is a prime example of the type of software business that is still attracting strong investor interest: a deeply verticalised platform providing solutions to complex and mission-critical problems for a loyal customer base, benefitting from significant proprietary data moats. The market tailwinds for BMA are large, and this investment sets the team up perfectly for further success.
