Stirling Square reinvests in Docu Nordic with TA Associates
Stirling Square Capital Partners has reinvested in portfolio company Docu Nordic Group, acquiring a majority stake alongside TA Associates, which has acquired a significant minority.
Stirling Square is deploying equity from its fourth fund, having previously owned the company via its third fund. The GP's new vehicle held a final close in January 2020 on €950m and targets mid-market companies with enterprise values of €50-500m.
Stirling Square originally acquired Docu Nordic via its €600m third fund from Swedish GP Segulah in August 2017.
The deal, approved this week by the EU Commission, will help Docu Nordic act on more buy-and-build opportunities. The company last month acquired Vortal, a Portuguese e-sourcing specialist previously backed by private equity firm Vallis Capital Partners.
Previous funding
Swedish GP Segulah acquired Docu Nordic in August 2014 from parent Docu Group in a management buyout. Three years later, Stirling Square acquired the company from Segulah.
Company
Founded in 2001 and based in Ljusdal, Docu Nordic is a provider of business intelligence and data analytics services within the construction, real estate and healthcare markets in Scandinavia, central Europe and Iberia.
