Our M&A and private equity team has advised on the sale of FISC Global and FISC Limited to private equity-backed Keyloop.
The client
Through its proprietary software solutions, FISC is a leading provider of customer retention and finance and insurance compliance services to the UK automotive sector. Its market-leading platforms, eMaster and F&I tracker are integrated with 14 OEMs and are implemented across a combined 1,700 dealerships globally.
Keyloop is a leading provider of Dealer Management Systems to the global automotive segment, supporting over 16,000 dealerships across 90 countries. The acquisition represents the third investment by Keyloop since it was carved out of CDK following an investment from Francisco Partners in March 2021.
The transaction identifies a strategic future partner for the company as it looks to embark on its next stage of growth through the acceleration of product development and international expansion strategies.
