Partner with HEQS, or join us.
We deploy ERP, build software, and back Australian software founders with permanent capital. Two ways to work together.
Become a Partner
For integrators, complementary SaaS vendors and channel resellers. Co-sell into our operating arms (furniture, logistics, commercial, NDIS, agriculture). Move faster with our customer base.
- Joint go-to-market across our Australian distribution channels
- Revenue share or referral economics, structured around your model
- Light commitment, fast scoping, scalable up to deeper integration
Sell us your company
For software founders considering succession, exit or growth capital. A permanent home for your business: no flip, no team replacement, no brand consolidation.
- Permanent capital. We hold; we don't flip.
- Retained leadership, retained team, retained brand.
- Indicative offer within two weeks, close in six to ten.
Operators with permanent capital, not a fund manager.
HEQS is an Australian operating group. We run businesses ourselves across furniture, logistics, agriculture and IT. When we partner with or acquire a software company, we are bringing distribution, technical depth and patient capital, not just a cheque.

We are not private equity.
- We don't run a fund. There is no five-year exit window.
- We don't replace your team. You stay; we back you.
- We don't merge your brand. You keep your name, your domain, your culture.
- We don't operate by committee. You deal directly with HEQS principals.
We've shipped product. We know what it takes.
Ship Now is HEQS's own logistics-tech product: a same-day delivery platform connecting Australian businesses with local couriers. We didn't acquire it. We built it, ran it, scaled it.
When you talk to us about partnership or acquisition, you're talking to people who have signed off product specs, debugged production incidents and scaled customer support. We know what running a software business looks like, because we run one.

Founder questions, answered.
Do I have to stay involved after the deal?
Most acquisitions retain the founder for a 12 to 24 month transition period. Beyond that, your level of involvement is your call. Several of our acquired-company founders are still running their businesses years later.
What happens to my team?
They stay. Decentralised operations are core to how we work: existing leadership, existing structure, existing brand. We back the people who built it.
How is valuation determined?
We work from your financials and the strategic fit. Indicative offers are based on a multiple of trailing earnings, with adjustments for growth trajectory, customer concentration and market position. We are direct about our number; no analyst games.
What's the typical deal structure?
Mix of cash at close and earn-out tied to ongoing performance. Equity rollover is available where the founder wants exposure to the broader HEQS Group upside.
Can I talk to other founders you've worked with?
Yes, once we are in serious conversation. We will introduce you to founders we have acquired and you can ask them anything, off the record.
What if I just want to integrate, not sell?
Use the Become a Partner track at the top of this page. Lighter commitment, joint go-to-market, no equity discussion.
Direct conversation. Strict discretion.
All conversations confidential. NDA in 24 hours on request. You deal with HEQS principals, not advisors or analysts.
