Equiteq has advised MidEuropa, a leading private equity investor with deep roots in Central Europe, on the acquisition of a majority stake in Romanian Business Consult (RBC), a vertically focused IT system integrator specialising in the retail, banking and industrials sectors in Romania. Founder and CEO Andrei Bojiță will retain a significant minority stake and continue to lead the business. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in 2026.
Founded in 1991, RBC provides mission-critical IT systems and integration services to blue-chip retail and banking clients, spanning consulting, systems integration, custom software development, and long-term support. The Company is recognised for its deep sector expertise and long-standing customer relationships, with over 80% of clients working with RBC for more than 15 years.
Through its partnership with MidEuropa, RBC will benefit from operational expertise, regional experience, and M&A execution capabilities to accelerate growth and pursue selective expansion opportunities in a market driven by accelerating digitalisation and automation.
Andrei Bojiță commented:
“We are proud of what RBC has built over the years, supported by the trust of our long-term clients. Welcoming MidEuropa as our new shareholder is a strong endorsement of our business, our people, and our strategy. We are excited to work together to support RBC’s next phase of development and continue delivering mission-critical solutions for our clients.”
Aleksandar Dragicevic, Principal at MidEuropa, said:
“RBC is a high-quality platform with a clear vertical focus, deep sector expertise, and long-standing customer relationships. We look forward to partnering with Andrei and the management team to support the Company’s growth ambitions and help scale the business both organically and through selective acquisitions.”
Robert Knorr, Managing Partner of MidEuropa, commented:
“RBC represents exactly the type of platform we seek to back: differentiated, vertically specialised, and embedded in its customers’ core operations. We are excited to support RBC’s long-term growth and strategic development.”
Commenting on Equiteq’s role in the transaction, Aleksandar said:
“Equiteq was a trusted partner from the start, bringing deep sector understanding, disciplined process management, and excellent judgement on key negotiation points. Their strategic advice on the IT services landscape, combined with exit analysis and valuation insights, was instrumental in shaping our view of RBC’s value creation potential. Throughout the process, the team demonstrated real commitment and responsiveness, helping us complete a complex transaction smoothly. We greatly valued their partnership.”
Jerome Glynn-Smith, Managing Director and Head of Europe at Equiteq, added:
“Congratulations to the MidEuropa team and Andrei Bojiță on this partnership. This investment reflects continued appetite for vertically focused IT integrators with blue-chip customers, supported by sustained digitalisation across regulated industries. With deep domain expertise and long-standing client relationships, RBC is well positioned to scale further across the region.”
Emmanuel Kostucki, Managing Director at Equiteq, added:
“Delighted to have advised MidEuropa on their investment in RBC. RBC has a strong foundation in mission-critical IT solutions across retail, banking and industrials, and MidEuropa’s support will help accelerate the next phase of growth, both organically and through selective expansion. We look forward to following the company’s continued development.”
