Key Findings

• Covid-19: The TMT sector has been one of the most resilient to during the Covid pandemic largely due to increasing demand for online services, products and entertainment.
• Mergers & Acquisitions: Very buoyant M&A market with double the volume of transactions compared to the prior year. Strong international buyer demand for quality UK businesses regardless of size or location. Appeal to potential investors, lenders, or indeed buyers, tends to be driven far more by product potential, sales growth / scalability and profit margins.
• Funding Capacity: The sector is generally attractive to both high street and alternative lenders.  Borrowing between 3x and 4x earnings is commonplace even at the lower end of the SME scale.
