EQS Group - FY21 focus on whistleblowing

EQS is making good progress on building a substantial presence in both corporate compliance and investor relations, growing its SaaS and annual recurring revenue streams. With a platform approach that allows for cross- and up-selling, this is a scalable business model in growing markets, driven by digitisation and regulation. The implementation of whistleblowing regulation in the EU during 2021 gives a clear opportunity for the group to extend its client base. The cost of grasping that opening is weighing on short-term profitability but enhances medium-term prospects.
