Mayfair invests $35M in BizAway


Italy-based business travel management companyย BizAway has landed a $35 million investment from Mayfair Equity Partners.

Founded in 2015 by Luca Carlucci and Flavio Del Bianco, BizAway
combines a travel management software platform with
24/7 multilingual in-house customer service. It also provides a white-label
software platform for enterprise customers.

The startup acquired the business travel
division of Next Generation Travel in April 2023 and raisedย โ‚ฌ10 million in July of that year.

With teams based in Spain, Italy, Albania and Dubai, BizAway said its global market is expected to reach $1.48 trillion by the end of 2024 and surpass $2 trillion by 2028.

The company said the new investment will allow it to accelerate growth
across existing and new markets while also exploring potential merger and acquisition
opportunities. It will also enable BizAway to design and implement new AI and data strategies while developing additional
products and services that will help solve the challenges for corporate travelers.

โ€œCorporate travel can be a deeply frustrating experience.
Legacy systems, processes and behaviors all contribute to the frustration of travelers
and the companies they work for,โ€ said Carlucci. โ€œOur proprietary software
platform was created with our customers in mind, allowing them to quickly plan
and book trips while significantly controlling and reducing costs.โ€

โ€œAnyone who has traveled for work understands the appeal of
making business trips easier, quicker and more reliable,โ€ said Yusuf Hoballah, partner at Mayfair. โ€œWhile
consumer travel has seen significant innovation to enhance the customer
experience, corporate travel still lags behind and weโ€™re excited to partner
with BizAway in their mission to transform this trillion-dollar industry.โ€
