PRESS RELEASE
London, 18 November 2015 – August Equity LLP (“August Equity”) has backed the
management buyout of UK cloud provider of eProcurement software Wax Digital
Limited (“Wax”). Based in Cheshire, Wax manages £5bn worth of indirect spend for
large and mid-sized organisations both in the private and public sector and its
integrated Source-to-Pay software is delivered across 102 countries.
The adoption of eProcurement solutions is set to double over the next few years as a

paperless processing. Wax has experienced 30% growth in its recurring revenue with
the majority of customers signing up to long term contracts of up to five years.
Philip Rattle, Managing Partner at August Equity, commented: “August Equity’s
investment in Wax builds on our experience of backing high growth, vertically-focussed
SaaS businesses in the UK. The deal was agreed in an off market transaction after
