“Elucid provided the strategic, financial, and transaction support that enabled Fourteen IP’s successful sale and post-deal growth.”

Neil Tolley , CEO, Fourteen IP

Fourteen IP

Fourteen IP is the global leader in providing cloud telephony and AI-powered solutions designed specifically for the hospitality sector.

Trusted by hotels and hospitality brands in over 25 countries, Fourteen IP seamlessly integrates advanced voice and virtual assistant technologies to enhance guest experiences and operational efficiency.

The Challenge

Fourteen IP sought clarity on its next phase of growth and engaged Elucid to conduct a strategic options review.

We assessed reinvestment, partnership, and exit scenarios (Trade and Private Equity), mapping the value-creation potential of each.

This analysis gave shareholders the confidence to pursue a sale – setting the stage for a complex, high-stakes transaction.

Elucid’s approach

The outcome

Elucid’s comprehensive support positioned Fourteen IP to engage confidently with potential investors, resulting in a successful sale to Beech Tree Private Equity.

Following the transaction, Fourteen IP – backed by Beech Tree – acquired ClearlyIP, a US-based telephony infrastructure provider.

This partnership unlocked capital for growth and validated Fourteen IP’s position as a global market leader.

Elucid supported this expansion through combined group business planning, financial modelling, and bank covenant planning to ensure the acquisition met its strategic objectives.
