About Imola
We run the parts that aren’t your mission, so you can run the part that is.
The Imola initiative
Every software company carries work that matters but isn’t why it exists: contracts, licensing, finance, people, systems and reporting. Done well, that work is invisible. Done badly, it slows everything down.
Imola was created to take that work on. We bring the business functions of a larger organization to growing software companies as one shared service, so their teams can stay focused on product and customers.
A broad network of support
Over time we have curated a network of support for our clients. We are not lawyers or accountants, but we can get you that help, alongside everything our own team provides.
Our own team
Imola’s in-house people handle the day-to-day work across our service areas.
Trusted specialists
When you need expertise such as legal, accounting or tax support, we bring in high-quality third parties we have worked with and trust.
One contract
All of it comes through a single, convenient agreement with Imola, so you are not managing a long list of separate vendors.
Who we work best with
You build software
SaaS and software companies, including those selling into government and other regulated markets.
You are ready to grow
Demand is rising, and back-office work is starting to pull your team away from product and customers.
You want one partner
You would rather work with one team across many functions than coordinate a string of separate vendors.
You think long term
You see shared services as an ongoing partnership that improves over time, not a one-off project.
