EY advises Main Capital on Assessio divestment to Pollen Street

EY advises Main Capital on its divestment of Assessio to Pollen Street Capital with delivery of analytic, commercial, financial, tax and tech vendor due diligence services.

Main Capital Partners acquired Assessio in 2019 and ignited a pivotal growth phase. This shift saw Assessio transition from a consultancy-driven model to a scalable software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, fostering revenue growth and establishing dominance in the Nordic and Benelux regions.

 

Throughout its trajectory under Main's guidance, Assessio strategically acquired Dutch HFMTalentindex, Dutch Eelloo, and Danish People Test Systems. These acquisitions not only bolstered Assessio's market presence but also laid the groundwork for its stronghold in previously untapped Nordic markets and the Benelux region. This multi-faceted approach facilitated a broader service offering and unlocked new reservoirs of talent and expertise.

 

Pollen Street's acquisition of Assessio underscores the latter's substantial value in talent assessment. With Pollen Street's track record in scaling software enterprises, the partnership promises to fuel Assessio's global expansion and propel its technological advancements.

 

EY teams has supported this acquisition with tax, financial due diligence and analytics, and EY-Parthenon with commercial and technology due diligence.
