Information and Communication Technologies – ICT

The UK is home to Europe’s largest Information and Communication Technologies sector and has in recent years been a major enabler of economic growth. There are around one million people employed in the sector and collectively they generate c.10% of GDP, with over £35 billion of GVA.

Here at Prism we are specifically focussed on M&A relating to medium sized companies in the sector – typically those with turnovers between £0.5m and £10m. Of the 135,000 UK incorporated (and active) companies, around 93% may be regarded as ‘small’ (net assets below £200k). The remaining c.7% are comprised primarily of ‘medium’ sized businesses (c.85% of which have turnovers under £10m).

We offer a highly personalised service to both buyers and sellers which may commence with exit/acquisition readiness advice, our Options Review or straight into a buy or sell mandate. Whatever the preferred approach, we work extremely closely with the client throughout the whole process – up to and beyond completion.

ICT Sector Research Report

Prism has recently commissioned a research project into M&A in the ICT sector, specifically concerning medium sized companies (£0.5m to £10m turnover range). The research looked at attitudes towards succession and growth, the basis for valuations and the thinking underlying sales and acquisitions. We have produced a 10 page report which summarises our findings and are making this available to all (free of charge) in both PDF and hard copy versions. We hope you find it interesting reading.
