Technology, Media & Telecoms Sector Analysis

Welcome to our first ever ‘Shaw Report’ into the Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) sector which provides the industry’s SME business leaders with a powerful benchmarking tool to aid their decision making.

"IN THIS REPORT WE HAVE SEGMENTED 2,175 TMT BUSINESSES WITH EARNINGS OF £1M+ BY SIZE AND SUBSECTOR TO TRACK THEIR PERFORMANCE, PROFITABILITY, DEBT LEVELS AND M&A ACTIVITY."
Daisy Mackay
Manager - M&A, Shaw & Co

Larger blue-chip corporates have regular access to this type of analysis from investment banking advisers. However, it is our mission to provide SME business leaders with free access to the same market intelligence in a clear, concise and easy-to-use way.

This report will help you benchmark your performance relative to the sector. It will also provide you with valuable insight regarding your relative creditworthiness and attractiveness from a M&A point of view.

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.
