Case Study: Regnology expands its RegTech platform with FE International’s advisory support

Regnology expands into Southern Africa with FE International’s help in a $24B RegTech market

The customer, Regnology, a global regulatory reporting specialist, sought to expand its platform and gain a foothold in the fast-growing African market. The challenge was to acquire a proven, niche compliance software business with deep local expertise and an established client base, rather than attempting to build such a complex, mission-critical capability from scratch. FE International acted as the sell-side advisor for this strategic acquisition.

FE International advised on the sale of Heywood Business Analysts and its flagship regulatory reporting product, DixII, to Regnology. The solution provided Regnology with an immediate entry into the Southern African market, a specialized product trusted by major banks, and a set of valuable client relationships. The result was a successful cross-border transaction that delivered a clean exit for Heywood's founder and gave Regnology a scalable platform for future growth in the region.
