SilverTree Equity backed mhance to accelerate growth with flexible financing from Shawbrook

• mhance was looking to strengthen its position as a leading, next-gen Microsoft Solution Partner (MSP)  in the UK, deepening its differentiated sector expertise, and expanding its Azure, Power Platform, and Data & AI capabilities.
• Shawbrook supported the client’s objectives with a bespoke funding solution combining a unitranche, committed acquisition facility, and revolving credit facility (RCF).  

mhance, an award winning Microsoft Solutions Partner backed by SilverTree Equity, has secured a comprehensive funding package from Shawbrook as it embarks on its ambitious growth trajectory. 

mhance has been providing end‑to‑end Microsoft services — from Dynamics 365 CRM/ERP delivery to data services spanning cloud analytics, integrations, and cloud migrations — for not-for-profit, commercial, and public customers across the UK and Ireland for over 20 years.

The Shawbrook financing will enable mhance to accelerate multi vertical expansion, invest further in capabilities across Dynamics, Azure, Power Platform, and Data & AI, and pursue targeted Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) to broaden its offering and market reach. The tailored structure — a unitranche facility for immediate draw, a committed acquisition facility to support M&A, and a RCF — provides scalable capital aligned to mhance’s growth plan.

The transaction was sponsored by SilverTree Equity, a sector specialist investor in software and tech enabled services, and introduced by FRP Advisory. Shawbrook’s flexibility around covenants and experience supporting IT MSP businesses set it apart from traditional lenders and credit funds. 

Nicholas Theuerkauf from SilverTree Equity commented:

“We are excited to support mhance as they continue to scale as a leading Microsoft Solutions Partner in the UK. The new partnership with Shawbrook provides mhance with the flexible capital and strategic backing needed to accelerate their ambitious growth plans. 

Wiebe Willemsen from SilverTree Equity added:

“We look forward to working alongside the mhance team as they continue to deliver innovative solutions and lasting value for their customers across multiple sectors.”

Ciaran Flanagan, Director at Shawbrook, commented:

“mhance has consistently demonstrated exceptional resilience, innovation, and a focus on delivering value for its clients. It’s a privilege to support such a dynamic business as they expand into new markets and partnering with SilverTree on this deal further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to nurturing growth in the technology sector.”

Introduced by FRP Advisory, Shawbrook was supported by Addleshaw Goddards for legal services, and SilverTree Equity with McDermott Will & Schulte for their legal services.
