K3 said that this deal gives it access to the "significant market for smaller retailers." RSG has around 200 customers, including Aston Martin, Highgrove House and National Portrait Gallery.
An additional £1.5m will be paid in respect of surplus cash in RSG, while an earn-out of up to £0.2m is payable over the next two years dependent on certain performance criteria.
