EQT, the Swedish buy-out firm, has made its first exit in more than a year by selling Nordic Info, a Danish credit and business information company, to the UK's Experian for Dkr1.1bn (€150m).

Experian, the business information group owned by GUS, said it would pay for the business in cash within the next month. The acquisition means Experian now has 11 consumer credit bureaux worldwide, a platform from which to sell its own products.
