THE COMPANY

Founded in 2015, MY Compliance Management is an innovative SaaS provider of cloud-based SHE (Safety, Health and Environmental) compliance software that offers a robust suite of modules and applications across a wide range of industries.

The company's offering addresses a wide spectrum of business requirements - from SME organisations to complex enterprise environments - transforming operational compliance through enhanced action tracking capabilities that drive accountability and generate measurable time savings. Its focus on data accuracy, combined with offline functionality, ensures compliance insights remain accessible in all environments while streamlining report compilation and accelerating decision-making.

CHALLENGE

The founders – Tom and Chris Fuller – were looking to exit as, while the business was performing well, they had invested nearly ten years in its development and were looking for a better work-life balance.

‍

OUTCOME

We were clear with potential buyers that a full exit for the founders was a key objective of the transaction and leveraged the competitive tension in the process to ensure this was delivered.

The ideal buyer was found in The Access Group, one of the largest UK-headquartered business management software providers. It provides solutions that empower more than 160,000 small and mid-sized organisations in commercial and non-profit sectors across Europe, the USA and APAC, giving every employee the freedom to do more of what's important. Its innovative cloud solutions and integrated AI software experience across multiple Access products transform how business technology is used. Access employs approximately 9,000 people, continuously driving product innovation and customer service excellence.  

The move came as businesses face increasing regulatory complexity and seek unified solutions to manage risk and compliance obligations more efficiently. By integrating MY Compliance Management's proven compliance expertise with Access Learning's established learning and development capabilities, the combined offering delivers enhanced value to customers seeking comprehensive workforce solutions.

It was also the perfect deal for Tom and Chris as it saw them receive financial security while taking on consultancy roles with the business for a limited period following completion.
