Audax Global Sàrl

What Audax Global Sàrl does

Audax Global Sàrl is a privately held Swiss business development services firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Pully, Vaud, Switzerland. The company assists multinational corporations, banks and financial institutions, and governments in emerging and developed markets to enter, win, and sustain business internationally. Audax operates as an intermediary that combines local market knowledge with senior relationships to broker introductions, negotiate contracts, and manage deal execution on behalf of its clients, particularly in markets where access to decision-makers is difficult.

Audax delivers its services across three primary practice areas. Gov Tech covers conformity assessment, tax stamps, banknotes and security paper procurement, and big data analysis for governments in emerging economies. Fintech connects banks and financial institutions with software providers for core banking, capital markets, treasury, cash, fund and risk management, and online and mobile banking. Green Tech supports nature-based projects including reforestation, land restoration, and carbon credit generation, exemplified by the company's role facilitating a 50-year agreement for the Green Samar Project to restore 120,000 hectares of degraded forest in the Philippines. Delivery relies on a core team of approximately seven staff in Switzerland, supplemented by an international network of more than 80 partners and associates, plus technology and implementation partners such as N-Soft, aDryada (backed by Ardian), and leading financial software and security paper providers.

Audax generates revenue primarily on a success-fee and/or percentage-of-contract basis, with multi-year engagement cycles and bespoke, quote-based pricing tailored to each transaction. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, with no meaningful digital marketing or self-serve channels; client acquisition flows through direct outreach, referrals, and partner introductions. The customer base is concentrated on a small number of high-value sovereign and enterprise counterparties, making revenue lumpy and deal-dependent.
