360training, a leader in regulated training for financial services, has announced the recent acquisition of Mortgage Educators and Compliance. This strategic opportunity was identified by TruSight and brought to the attention of GreyLion, one of 360training’s private equity sponsors.
At the core of this acquisition is TruSight’s Intermediary Coverage service offering, which provides private equity firms with access to thousands of long-tail investment banks and intermediary contacts. TruSight leveraged its extensive intermediary network to find a suitable acquisition candidate for 360training and its financial sponsors, working with investment banker Bill McCalpin of Capitalize Network, and his client, Mortgage Educators and Compliance.
"Capitalize Network's buyer search was greatly benefitted by TruSight’s extensive network and valuable buyer connections. 360training was a great acquirer to work with throughout the entire deal process and the outcome was a great success for our client," said Bill McCalpin, CEO of Capitalize Network.
This acquisition signifies a major step for 360training in strengthening its position as a leader in the regulated financial services training sector. By integrating Mortgage Educators and Compliance, 360training is set to offer a more diverse and comprehensive range of educational services, particularly tailored to the evolving needs of financial services professionals.
“We’ve known the team at TruSight for some time now and always appreciate their thoughtful approach to deal sourcing. Their ability to connect us with great professionals like Bill McCalpin and Capitalize Network is a valued enhancement to our own sourcing efforts," said Henry Heinerscheid, Partner at GreyLion.
For more than a decade, TruSight has helped clients optimize their position in the Lower Middle Market by providing intermediary and proprietary deal flow. Private equity firms, strategic investors and family offices rely on TruSight to identify and connect them to high-quality deals that they would have missed from long-tail investment banks and brokers, and private businesses. And for investment banks and advisors, TruSight expands deal distribution confidentially and transparently, delivering high-quality introductions to investors.
