The register tracks The Access Group as one of 13 European software serial acquirers, with accounts in GBP. 5 of its acquisitions disclose enough to price. Those were paid between 4.02x and 7.83x the acquired company’s annual revenue; the median is 5.46x, against a register median of 3.14x. In 2025 it deployed 696.6 EUR m across 9 acquisitions (filed, 77.40 EUR m average cheque).

Price paid per unit of the acquired company’s annual revenue. 5 of the 5 rows are measured — consideration and revenue both stated in the acquisition note; Amounts are converted to euro at the ECB annual reference rate; the multiples are ratios within one currency and are not converted.

What it deploys

A price is only half the picture; the other half is how much The Access Group actually puts to work. In 2025 that was 696.6 EUR m across 9 acquisitions, on a filed basis. The average cheque was 77.40 EUR m.

Capital deployed EUR m	as filed		Acquisitions	Average cheque EUR m	Year	Basis
696.6	596.8	GBP	9	77.40	2025	filed

“Filed” is the number from the buyer’s own cash flow statement. Converted to euro at the ECB annual reference rate for the buyer’s own reporting year; the figure as filed stands beside it. Full table: how much they deploy.

What this does not support

5 priced deals is a disclosure sample, not The Access Group’s pricing policy. The sample is the deals it disclosed enough about — and there is no reason to assume that is unrelated to what it paid.
These are revenue multiples, not earnings multiples. Most acquisition notes give no usable profit figure for the company bought.
