Network Opportunities.
Bringing you the latest merger and acquisition opportunities.
As we head into year-end, UK dealmaking remains selective. Some headlines are reporting expected lower volumes compared to last year, but values have held up in several sectors where strategic rationale is strongest. Across H1 2025, UK deal value dipped and activity slowed, yet buyers continue to prioritise resilient, cash-generative SMEs with clear growth stories.
Seasonally, activity tends to soften into the festive period and momentum often shifts toward Q1 planning. We are finding well-prepared owners are taking our member firms' advice & using this window to get deal-ready for 2026. This is especially relevant this year as the CGT increases kick-in at April, along with the new IHT regime where Business Property Relief & Agricultural Property Relief will be restricted.
This is our final Network Opportunities edition until the New Year. In this edition, as always, we have highlighted some of our member firms’ recently completed deals and listed current opportunities for businesses for sale or wanted. Please do get in touch if you would like any further details.
