Kurve

We’re pleased to have supported Kurve, a leading provider of dynamic self‑service technology for the hospitality sector, on its sale to ClearCourse, a fast‑growing group of integrated software and payments businesses.

Founded six years ago, Kurve designs and develops kiosk and digital ordering solutions that help hospitality operators accelerate service, enhance brand values, reduce operating costs, improve customer loyalty and maximise long‑term revenues. The business works closely with its customers to understand their commercial objectives and deliver tailored, high‑performance technology that increases efficiency and average transaction values. Over this period, Kurve has grown rapidly and established itself as a trusted partner to operators across the UK.

It has now been acquired by ClearCourse, a strategic partner that will support Kurve’s continued expansion and help drive the next phase of its impressive growth trajectory.

Our Corporate Finance team was appointed by the shareholders of Kurve to explore a sale of the Group. We developed bespoke marketing materials to articulate Kurve’s strengths, led negotiations and co‑ordinated the financial due diligence and managed the transaction through to completion.

The deal will allow Kurve to benefit from ClearCourse’s scale, resources and sector expertise, enabling the Group to accelerate its growth and broaden its reach. ClearCourse will also gain a high‑growth platform in the fast‑evolving self‑service and hospitality technology market.

Thomas Edwards, Partner at FRP Corporate Finance, said: “Acting as a Corporate Finance adviser on the sale of Kurve to ClearCourse has been a real privilege. The team has built an impressive business with a clear vision for the future, and this transaction positions them brilliantly for their next phase of growth. We wish everyone at Kurve continued success in the years ahead.”

Steven Boyes, Co-founder and Chair of Kurve, said: “I am hugely proud of the team and the business we have created over the past six years. It was a natural process for an acquisition to take place to allow Kurve to become part of a larger group with an excellent strategic fit. The Kurve Board selected FRP Corporate Finance through a recommendation from an industry contact and we were not disappointed. Thomas and his team were excellent throughout the process, providing heavyweight financial analysis and professional negotiation from start to finish. This made a huge positive difference to the sale process and I would strongly recommend them to founders embarking on a similar journey.”
