The financial services sector is central to the UK’s economy but an increase in regulation is causing some smaller companies and owner-managed businesses to seek an exit to avoid the additional cost and time associated with a growing compliance burden.
This helps to drive consolidation in the field, as certain players seek to build scale and create improvements in commission rates and operational efficiencies.
Opportunities exist for specialist organisations to provide outsourced services within financial services and we believe this sector represents a significant opportunity for M&A activity.
Gambit’s specialist team has deep sector experience, particularly in respect of insurance broking, financial advisors and support services.
Our team has advised clients on disposals, acquisition strategies, management buy-outs and strategy.
