RapidFire Safety & Security doesn’t just protect communities—they are revolutionizing how protection is delivered. With a bold mission to offer cutting-edge security, fire, and life safety solutions at unmatched speed and reliability, the company is executing an aggressive M&A strategy and building a large trusted regional brand.
“We’re positioning RapidFire as the undisputed buyer of choice for potential sellers. Our use of Midaxo is a proof point. It’s intuitive for sellers, showcases our professionalism, and demonstrates concretely how we simplify their experience. Seller feedback consistently validates this advantage.”
— Mike McLeod, CEO & Founder at RapidFire
Challenge
CEO Mike McLeod and cofounders had just exited a previous buy-and-build initiative that relied solely on spreadsheets and email for M&A.
“It was a chaotic nightmare. Files were scattered across individual computers, communications buried in endless email chains, critical history lost in digital limbo. Pulling together diligence materials when we went to sell was a herculean task.”
— Mike McLeod, CEO & Founder at RapidFire
When launching RapidFire, they made a different strategic choice: invest in a platform built for professional M&A from day one to support their goal of scaling without the chaos.
Solution
A centralized platform to manage every deal, from pipeline to integration.
Key features used:
- PE partner access and transparency
- End-to-end deal pipeline tracking
- Secure document and email management
- Smart notifications and task automation
- Pre-built integration templates
With Midaxo, RapidFire gained a secure, structured environment for managing its entire deal lifecycle. From managing and evaluating a dynamic pipeline of potential targets to closing and integrating top candidates, Midaxo enables their agile team to execute at scale.
Midaxo’s purpose-built M&A software delivered…
Stronger PE collaboration: Midaxo allows RapidFire to give Concentric Equity Partners real-time visibility into their deal pipeline and progress—without adding reporting burden to the team.
“Our partners at Concentric can track our pipeline, access documents, and conduct their own analysis. It keeps them involved and informed and provides transparency, but frees us from manual reporting.”
—Mike McLeod

“When competing for the same deal, being the easiest to transact with often wins it. Midaxo helps us stand out.”
— Colin Harrold, Co-Founder & Board Advisor at RapidFire
