Executive Summary

Plenty of cash rich to rescue the needy

1 in 4 companies in the UK Mortgage Brokers industry could change ownership as a
result of the current economic climate, claims a new study by leading financial
analysts Plimsoll. With a surprising number of cash rich competitors waiting in
the wings the market could be set for a prolonged period of consolidation. David
Pattison, author of the new Plimsoll Industry Analysis - Mortgage Brokers,
explains, I am sure any director worth his salt would agree that, in the current
climate, there are simply too many companies chasing too little market. With
many directors eyeing the exit doors and highly leveraged buyouts consigned to
history for the time being it really is a buyers market out there for cash rich
companies. Pattison continues, in the Plimsoll Industry Analysis we have
identified 92 companies that have a sizeable cash reserve sat on their balance
sheets that, due to record low interest rates, is generating nothing. These
companies are now in the position to buy up large chunks of market share at rock
bottom prices and make that money work for them. They must be like kids in a
sweet shop at the moment - all those distressed competitors available at a
fraction of their true value. The UK Mortgage Brokers market is still widely
regarded as one of the UK's most fragmented sectors. In our report we analysed
the UK's leading 369 companies are rated each on their acquisition
attractiveness this will tell you which companies are set to be buying and which
are exposed to takeover.
