Main Capital Partners: a race to be won

What does it take for the Enterprise Software sector to win the race?

AI has created an investment race to help realise business value. It has also created a challenging and more complex market environment.

As a leader in private equity investments in the Software space, Main Capital Partners has had a running start, helping to accelerate Enterprise Software businesses and delivering growth and consistent returns for its investors. In this high-stakes and high-paced sprint race, deals are done in record time. It pays to have the right partner at the starting line as this race cannot be won alone.

For nearly a decade, we have been supporting Main Capital Partners in law and tax, during their fundraising and with M&A / investment management. So, when it came to their ambition to double the size of their new fund and again establish a new threshold record, they knew that they could trust us to be by their side to help them go further.

Raising a fund in record time with a broader, almost global, investor base comes with a new set of challenges. It requires a close, integrated team of legal, tax, notary and regulatory experts working at the highest level to ensure that everything is managed effectively and according to each global investors’ regulations and jurisdictions. This demands a robust process that can handle over 40,000 emails in a 5-month period without anything being missed. Most importantly, it takes a pragmatic team, acting as a reliable and pro-active business partner, in constant dialogue and with a strong sense of shared responsibility towards success. In the words of our client: “We didn’t have to worry – Loyens & Loeff had everything covered.”

For Main Capital Partners, the successful closing of this record fundraising is a landmark achievement. Yet it is not the end of the race. Instead, it signals the start of another competition: to do the right deals with the best lower mid-market Enterprise Software companies. It is also about helping these businesses grow and successfully navigate the changes in their industry.

Once again, we stand with them as one integrated team, and are invested in their success at each phase, from origination to diligence and during the transaction itself, ensuring that the right documentation and governance is in place, advising and anticipating on all legal, regulatory and tax matters.

So, when it comes to supporting Main Capital Partners to deliver a better eco-system future for the Enterprise Software sector, Loyens & Loeff is on point and stands alongside the client ready to win the race together.
