Back to the helpdesk!

Application software players remained the most popular acquisition target in Q2, representing almost 25% of the 82 UK SITS (software and IT services) companies sold. However, there was a surprising resurgence of interest in helpdesk and technical support companies, with no fewer than ten deals. This was the surprising finding in our regular quarterly analysis of the UK software and IT services M&A scene, IndustryViews M&A, compiled in conjunction with our good friends at corporate finance and M&A specialists, Regent.

As always, we bring you the key trends in UK SITS M&A, and review some of the significant deals. We’ve also included for the first time a rather interesting comparison between median deals sizes in the European SITS sector compared to trends in the FTSE SCS (software & Computer Services) index.
