Buzzacott advises Yay.com on its sale to Queen’s Park Equity

Overview of deal

We are delighted to have assisted Matt Mansell in his sale of Yay.com to Queen’s Park Equity.  

Yay.com is a Unified Communications as a Service (UCaas) business which provides end-to-end voice, chat and domain solutions to a broad range of customers. Founded in 2014 by Matt, its platform is fully scalable, currently managing over 20 million calls every month and has unrivalled stability and reliability at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

QPE has acquired Yay.com to drive a class-leading solution to fellow investee company TelcoSwitch’s growing base of channel partners. Combined, the product portfolio meets the demands of both a next generation UCaaS proposition and helps customers overcome the forthcoming technological changes in the broader telecoms space.

How we helped 

The opportunity with QPE and TelcoSwitch was identified as the ideal solution for both Matt and Yay.com going forward. It allows for a more rapid roll out of its product road map and feature sets and simultaneously provides channels to instantly get the Yay.com technology to new customers. Buzzacott acted as lead financial advisor through the marketing process and guided Matt through diligence and the negotiation on key terms of the deal. Having worked with Matt before we enjoy his highly detailed and hands-on approach during the process.

"This is the second business we have helped Matt exit, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him again to find a buyer for Yay. Under QPE’s ownership, Yay will be able to use its skills and expertise to enhance the power of its unique unified communications platform and expand into new markets."
