Strategic rollup of Financial Advice Providers (FAPs) + market-leading compliance technology
Profsee is executing a nationwide rollup of Financial Advice Providers (FAPs) in New Zealand, underpinned by its proprietary SaaS platform, Dacreed, which delivers compliance, professional development, and digital advice at scale.
We will acquire additional recurring revenue streams (“trail”) from retiring advisers, integrate them into a vertically integrated group, and uplift margins through technology and shared services.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Rollup Strategy | Acquire recurring revenue (trail) at ~3× trail, then leverage technology to improve performance, cross sell and scale to achieve a higher multiple. |
| Technology Leverage | Profsee’s Dacreed platform supports compliance, CPD, and digital advice, at scale. |
| Revenue Model | Combination of SaaS (CPD platform), financial advice, and training/qualifications. |
| Traction | 2,500+ users on Dacreed; government-certified trainer; preferred by major insurers. Initial acquisition completed and pipeline identified. |
| Global Potential | Technology validated in NZ, with a roadmap to launch in Australia, UK, and other regulated markets. Potential to then look at similar rollup approach in those markets. |
The baseline scenario is to raise ~$10m (equity and debt) over four years to generate revenue of ~$21m (acquired and organic) with a pre-tax operating profit of ~$8m. By the end of year 4, approximately 57% of total revenue will be recurring.
The ambitious scenario is to raise $100m (equity and debt) over three years to generate revenue of ~$60m (acquired and organic) with a pre-tax operating profit of ~$23m. By the end of year 4, approximately 85% of total revenue will be recurring.
