Active Buyer in the Market: Cyber & IT Business Wanted

Chris Ray • 17 September 2025

We’re representing a credible UK buyer seeking to acquire MSPs, IT support, or cybersecurity firms. If you’re considering your next chapter, let’s talk.

At Branta, we’re actively supporting a well-capitalised and highly experienced UK tech group with its latest growth push. And we’re now inviting owner-managers of IT support, connectivity, and cybersecurity businesses to consider whether this could be the right moment to explore your options.


About the Buyer

The acquirer is a private, profitable, and long-standing operator in the sector. Not a financial investor or PE-backed platform. They’ve built their success on deep customer relationships, strong technical capabilities, and a people-first culture. Now, they’re ready to grow by acquisition.


What They’re Looking For:

  • Business Type: MSPs, IT support, connectivity/voice resellers, cybersecurity specialists
  • Revenue: Ideally between £750k–£3m
  • Model: Strong recurring revenue (70%+), B2B, multi-year contracts preferred
  • Status: Profitable or with a clear route to profitability
  • Sale Reason: Retirement, strategic exit, or stalled growth


What Makes This Different?

  • No layers of private equity or slow decision-making
  • Flexible deal structures including upfront + deferred consideration
  • Funding in place
  • No-nonsense approach and rapid execution


We’re Keen to Hear From:

  • Business owners mulling over succession or retirement
  • Directors in plateaued firms looking for fresh energy
  • Insolvency or turnaround professionals managing distressed tech assets
  • Professional advisers with clients quietly exploring options


Download the Buyer Brief

We’ve prepared a confidential briefing note for advisers, owner-managers, and intermediaries who may want more detail.


It includes:

  • The buyer’s ideal target profile
  • Preferred deal structures
  • How they approach valuation, funding, and execution
  • Why now is a good time to consider your options

We treat all approaches with complete discretion. And you’re very welcome to pass this along to clients or contacts.


Next Step?

We treat all approaches in strict confidence, and we’re happy to sign NDAs before any discussions. To explore if this might be a fit - either for you or a client - just drop us a message.
