Setterwalls assists the IT consulting company Knowit with the acquisition of the subsidiaries of Capacent that conduct operations within management consulting. Capacent complements Knowit’s offer with services mainly with-in finance, pricing strategy and operating capital optimization, and will after the acquisition become part of Knowit’s business area Insight.
Capacent is a market leader in operating capital optimization on the Swedish and Finnish market and is also well-positioned within pricing and consultancy services aimed at the financial departments of larger and mid-sized companies. Through the merger, the business area Knowit Insight’s operations within management consulting will grow by approx-imately 50 employees to, following the acquisition, gain a stronger position in both Sweden and Finland with around 400 consultants.
The purchase price amounts to SEK 155 million (on cash and debt-free basis) with a possible additional purchase price of a maximum of SEK 30 million. The outcome of the addi-tional purchase price will depend on the EBIT levels in the acquired entities for the financial year 2021. The acquisition is expected to be completed at the end of September/beginning of October.
