Welcome to our annual deals review. It’s where we analyse trends in business transactions across the UK – as well as from our own corporate finance team.
As our region’s most active dealmaker, it’s important we track emerging trends, and the opportunities and challenges they can bring our clients.
When the market is turbulent, experience becomes all the more useful – avoiding potential pitfalls, and bringing your deal to a successful completion.
Outperforming a cautious market
The data is clear. Although deal volumes in our region fell by 15% in 2023, PKF Francis Clark’s Corporate Finance Team saw:
- 7.5% increase in deal completions in 2023
- More deals in the £10m-£50m bracket
- Headcount growth with new partners and directors
