Businesses for Sale in London

The capital of the UK and its largest city, London generates around a quarter of the UK’s GDP. London is the world’s most important financial hub and, as a result, finance is its largest industry. Apart from finance, two of London’s most important sectors are the service industry (which employs around 85 per cent of the city’s working population) and tourism. London is also the UK’s centre for media and technology, with several major tech firms, newspapers and broadcasters.

London’s financial strength and richly diverse business landscape make it the UK’s most active M&A hub. As with many such hubs, London’s M&A activity was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite largely recovering from a fall in deal volumes and value during Q2 and Q3 2020, figures for Q1 2021 continue to lag behind Q1 2020. However, the overall trend for dealmaking in the capital looks strong, driven by national and international demand and high volumes in the infocomms, financial services and retail sectors.
