Capital and Trust advises owners and acquirers across this space
Applying the same depth of market knowledge and transactional discipline we bring to every sector we cover.
A sector attracting serious acquirer attention
TICC businesses have attracted sustained interest from strategic acquirers, private equity, and trade buyers as the financial services industry continues to invest heavily in technology, data, and regulatory infrastructure. For business owners, this demand creates genuine opportunity but also the complexity of evaluating acquirers with very different agendas and deal structures.
Revenue quality, contract tenure, recurring income, technology stack, and team retention are all factors that sophisticated buyers will scrutinise carefully. We help sellers prepare for that scrutiny and present their business in the way that maximises competitive tension and protects value.
For buyers in the TICC space
Acquisitions in the TICC sector require careful due diligence and a clear strategic rationale. We work with buyers to identify businesses that fit their criteria, manage introductions discreetly, and support both parties through what can be technically complex transactions. Our independence ensures that the advice we give serves the deal, not any particular outcome.

When I was looking at exploring my potential options, Capital and Trust provided me with the detailed knowledge, insight and expertise of the different propositions available to me. They guided me through from beginning to end, introducing me to the buyers that not only fitted my personal needs, but the needs of my staff and most importantly the needs of our clients. They gave me support throughout the deal process and were always available if I had any questions. For anyone looking to sell their business or even buy a business, I would strongly recommend getting touch with the guys at Capital and Trust.

We have worked alongside Capital and Trust for several years because we have always valued their expertise and extensive connections in the sector. Our recent experience of working with them on a transaction has consolidated this view – they helped us find a buyer that was the perfect fit in terms of deal structure and company culture. Their approach was superb; the team was professional and knowledgeable, maintaining excellent lines of communication throughout. Expert negotiators, they helped us to achieve the best possible outcome. Based on our experience we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Capital and Trust, and particularly Sam Motia, to anyone considering a business move.
