Our Acquisition Criteria
Although each business within our portfolio is unique, the consistent feature among them is that they sell mission-critical technology tailored to a specific market. Otherwise, our businesses vary widely in terms of geographic region, size, technology, and other factors.
To better understand how we approach acquisitions, explore our Acquisition Process, which outlines each step from the initial conversation to closing. You can also learn what it’s like to join our organization in Life After Acquisition, where we highlight the post-acquisition experience for founders and teams.
As a general guideline, we consider the following acquisition criteria when evaluating a business:
Technology
We acquire B2B software companies that sell proprietary solutions. Most of our businesses sell solutions to a specific vertical, or geographic market, however, we are expanding our mandate to consider other types of technology businesses.
Customers
We prefer companies with a diversified customer base, leading or increasing market share, and low customer attrition.
Finances
We don’t limit our acquisitions by a specific annual revenue number, but prefer companies that derive most of their income through recurring revenue models.
Size
Smaller businesses with as few as a handful of employees and larger businesses with hundreds of employees have found their home at Volaris.
Geography
With offices in 50+ countries around the world and dozens of languages spoken by our people, borders are not a barrier to acquisition.
Industry
We are looking to further expand our footprint in our existing vertical markets, while also entering new markets with platform acquisitions. For a complete list of the markets we currently operate in, please visit our portfolio.
