Justworks, which provides a cloud-based human capital management platform for SMBs, announced terms for its IPO on Tuesday.
The New York, NY-based company plans to raise $214 million by offering 7 million shares at a price range of $29 to $32. At the midpoint of the proposed range, Justworks would command a fully diluted market value of $2.2 billion.
Justworks is a cloud-based software platform that gives small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) access to benefits, payroll, human resources, and compliance support. The company employs a strategic M&A approach to deliver additional value to its target market, and in October 2020 acquired cloud-based time and attendance solution Boomr to serve more diverse types of small businesses, as well as deepen its portfolio of timecard and payroll features. As of November 30, 2021, Justworks had 8,000 customers across all 50 US states representing almost 140,000 worksite employees.
The company was founded in 2012 and booked $1.1 billion in revenue for the 12 months ended August 31, 2021. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol JW. Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, Baird, Piper Sandler, and Raymond James are the joint bookrunners on the deal. It is expected to price during the week of January 10, 2022.
