In a market where competition for quality assets remains strong, successful acquisitions depend on more than ambition alone. They require a clear understanding of financial performance, commercial drivers, underlying risks and the factors that shape value. This is where robust Financial Due Diligence becomes critical. Our team worked closely with Chess to provide detailed, sector-focused analysis throughout the process. Combining deep knowledge of the ICT market with granular financial interrogation, we helped management assess opportunities with greater confidence and make informed decisions at pace. A key part of this support was the ability to move beyond static reporting and provide more interactive, decision-led analysis. By bringing together detailed financial insight, sector expertise and real time interrogation of the data, we enabled greater visibility around performance, quality of earnings and the issues that matter most in an acquisitive environment. For acquisitive businesses, clarity is everything. The ability to understand a target properly, identify potential areas of risk, and assess strategic fit with conviction can make a meaningful difference to both transaction outcomes and post-deal value creation. Our work with Chess reflects the importance of combining rigorous analysis with practical, commercially relevant insight. Richard Btesh, M&A Director at Chess commented; “The Evolution team’s commercial insight and technical expertise provided us with a deep understanding of the business’s performance, helping set realistic budgeting expectations.” At Evolution Capital, we support ambitious management teams, founders and investors across the full transaction lifecycle, from M&A advisory through to Financial Due Diligence and broader transaction services. Our approach is grounded in detailed analysis, sector understanding and a commitment to helping clients make better decisions in complex situations. Granular. Analytical. Sector specific. That is Evolution Capital. For more information on EC Analytics, our M&A advisory services, or our Financial Due Diligence and transaction services, please get in touch.

Inside The Intelligent Deal: Matt Parker to Speak at Private Reform Club Dinner
Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory Virtual CFO & CFO Assist About Us Our Team Office Location Success Stories Blog Contact Us Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory Virtual CFO & CFO Assist About Us Our Team Office Location Success Stories Blog Contact Us Inside The Intelligent Deal: Matt Parker to Speak at Private Reform Club Dinner Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, EC Analytic, Strategic review, Technology, Transaction April 1, 2026 The most valuable rooms are rarely the loudest. They are the ones where people speak plainly, challenge assumptions and share what they are seeing before it becomes consensus. That is exactly what The Intelligent Deal is intended to create: a private dinner for cyber and MSP leaders who are not watching the market from the side-lines, but helping define where it goes next. We are pleased to announce that Matthew Parker , newly appointed CEO of Xypher , will be joining us as a key speaker at our eagerly-awaited private dinner at The Reform Club on 19 March. Matthew steps into the role at a defining moment for the cyber security sector. Xypher, backed by Limerston Capital and formed through the integration of Aristi, CyberCrowd and DigitalXRAID, represents one of the UK’s most compelling new platforms in cyber, digital forensics and compliance. With a clear buy-and-build strategy and exposure across critical national infrastructure, policing, healthcare and national security, the group is already operating at the sharp end of the evolving threat landscape. Parker’s appointment signals intent: to align specialist capability, technology and talent into a cohesive platform built for scale, resilience and long-term relevance. Matt’s track record in building high-performing, technology-led organisations makes him uniquely placed to lead that next phase. For those who have followed the sector closely, his perspective will be especially valuable. Matt has consistently operated at the intersection of growth, integration and operational discipline; the same themes now shaping M&A activity across cyber and MSP markets. There is a long-standing relationship between Matt Parker and Evolution Capital. During his tenure as CEO of Babble, Matt led the business through a period of exceptional growth, scaling from c.£6m to £100m in revenue. During this time, EC worked closely alongside the management team across multiple Financial Due Diligence processes, supporting the business through sustained acquisition and expansion. That shared history brings a different depth to the conversation, grounded in real experience of scaling, integrating and creating value, rather than theory alone. The Reform Club has long been associated with ideas, influence and thoughtful debate, and it provides the right backdrop for a conversation centred on how leading businesses are being built in today’s market. The focus for the evening will not be on transactions alone, but on the broader forces shaping outcomes in the sector: How the cyber landscape is evolving, and what that means for operators and investors What it takes to build and integrate specialist platforms at pace Where talent, capability and culture now sit in the value creation story How data, intelligence and preparedness increasingly define performance At Evolution Capital, our role in the sector has always been grounded in specialism. Our work across M&A and Financial Due Diligence gives us a continuous, close-up view of how cyber and MSP businesses are performing beneath the surface… Where growth is real, where integration succeeds, and where value is created or lost. Combined with our analytics capabilities, this provides a level of market intelligence that shapes the conversations we bring into rooms like this one. The evening is designed to share that perspective in a private setting, bringing together founders, investors and acquirers who are actively building, scaling or considering their next strategic move. With Matt joining to share his experience of building, integrating and leading in a rapidly changing cyber market, it promises to be a rare opportunity for candid discussion among people operating at the heart of the sector. With the dinner now fully booked, we are looking forward to an evening of serious discussion at The Reform Club with people building, backing and advising some of the sector’s most ambitious businesses. If you would like to be considered for the next one, please contact Max Whitehead or the Evolution Capital team.

Last week, Evolution Capital took centre stage as Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at EC, demonstrated the revolutionary EC Analytics platform in an engaging interview with Ian Fishwick, EC Client Services Director, serial acquirer and former founder of AdEPT Technology Group. The session not only showcased cutting-edge technology but also embodied Evolution Capital’s ethos: empowering clients with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. Transforming Financial Due DiligenceDrawing on his experience from a £100 million transaction, Fishwick recounted the inefficiencies of static, 300-page financial reports. “The time wasted digging through these outdated documents was immense,” he shared. Godfrey responded with a solution that is nothing short of transformative. EC Analytics, developed across global hubs in London, Chichester, Tirana, empowers buyers and sellers with instant access to interactive, real-time data. Whether it’s mapping out recurring revenue trends, dissecting customer churn, or simulating future scenarios, EC Analytics turns complexity into clarity. For serial acquirers, this means faster and more accurate decision-making. For sellers, it’s an opportunity to prepare, identify weaknesses, and optimise outcomes ahead of a transaction. Why EC Analytics Stands OutHere’s what makes EC Analytics a game-changer: Interactivity: Instantly answer key questions about performance, trends, and risks without wading through static reports. Customisation: Tailor data to your specific needs and reformat seller information into your preferred view. Real-Time Updates: Refresh financial data with the push of a button, ensuring accuracy even when deals face delays. Fishwick summed it up perfectly: “The days of static reports are numbered. Platforms like EC Analytics are what every acquirer needs to make smarter, faster decisions.” Your Invitation to Explore the Future of Due DiligenceSam Godfrey’s demonstration left one thing abundantly clear: EC Analytics isn’t just for the future of due diligence—it’s for the here and now. This tool is reshaping the M&A landscape, and the team at Evolution Capital is inviting you to experience it firsthand.

Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, EC Analytic, Strategic review, Technology, Transaction December 2, 2025 Earlier this month, Ian Fishwick and Sam Godfrey of Evolution Capital were featured on the NZ365 Guy Podcast – the largest Microsoft-centred podcast in Asia, with an audience reaching well over 400,000 professionals and decision makers. Broadcast from New Zealand, the episode explored the growing international interest in EC Analytics, the proprietary platform developed by Evolution Capital to modernise and streamline the financial due diligence process. The conversation began with Ian’s reflections on a major transaction he led in 2023, in which the financial reporting alone ran to 300 pages. It was a familiar challenge to anyone who has been involved in M&A: dense documentation, static formatting, and the inevitable search for critical information buried within. “In a world where technology gives us instant access in every other sphere, I no longer wanted to spend my weekends hunting through hundreds of pages to make sense of the data,” Ian noted. That insight gave rise to EC Analytics, a platform designed to allow acquirers and stakeholders to interact directly with the data, interpret it in their own financial language, and update it as required without resorting to costly new reports. The podcast highlighted three key flaws in conventional due diligence and how EC Analytics addresses them: It provides dynamic interactivity, replacing passive reports It reconfigures financials in the buyer’s preferred format It delivers live, up-to-date data with the press of a button Available in two formats – Virtual CFO for single-entity companies and CFO Assist for more complex group structures – EC Analytics is fast becoming a benchmark for modern dealmaking. That the platform is now attracting attention from the farthest corners of the globe is a testament to its relevance, its functionality, and the practical expertise that underpins it. To listen to the podcast, search for NZ365 Guy wherever you get your podcasts. To find out how EC Analytics could support your next transaction, contact the team at Evolution Capital.

Evolution Capital advise dbfb in the successful acquisition of Totally Converged Solutions in values-led deal, backed by Santander UK
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Evolution Capital advise dbfb in the successful acquisition of Totally Converged Solutions in values-led deal, backed by Santander UK Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology, Transaction December 2, 2025 Evolution Capital advise dbfb in the successful acquisition of Totally Converged Solutions in values-led deal, backed by Santander UK Evolution Capital is delighted to have advised the shareholders of Northampton-based telecoms and IT managed service provider dbfb in the recent acquisition of Totally Converged Solutions (TCS), a Milton Keynes-based technology company, in a values-led deal that strengthens the group’s presence in a key growth market. The acquisition is a pivotal part of dbfb’s long-term growth strategy, combining strong cultural alignment with clear strategic rationale. Both businesses share a customer-first ethos and a commitment to building long-term partnerships across the region. “This isn’t just about growth – it’s about finding people who share our values and care about delivering great service,” said Simon Pickering, Managing Director of dbfb. “TCS stood out as a business that truly puts its customers first. We’re excited to bring them into the dbfb team.” Andrew Thomas, Sales Director and co-founder of TCS, added: “We’ve always focused on honest relationships and dependable service – and dbfb share that approach. This partnership gives us the backing of a larger business, but without losing what makes us who we are.” The transaction was supported by Evolution Capital, who advised dbfb on business planning, funding strategy, and buy-side acquisition execution. Charlie Futcher, Transaction Manager at Evolution Capital, said:“Working with Simon and the dbfb team has been a fantastic example of how a clear M&A strategy can be successfully implemented. From initiating a long-term relationship with a leading funder in Santander, to identifying a target, in TCS, that fits dbfb’s growth ambitions. I am pleased that Evolution Capital’s collaborative approach has created outstanding outcomes for both buyer and seller. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the dbfb team. It has been incredibly rewarding to be a part of their journey towards value growth and to feel part of the team in their ongoing growth and success.” Following a successful negotiation with Santander for long-term banking support, dbfb is now positioned for sustainable, data-driven expansion in the UK telecoms and IT services sector. Onboarding to EC Analytics will further enhance post-deal integration, provide clearer insights into customer behaviour and whitespace opportunities, and support decision-making at every level of the business. Jon Everitt, Relationship Director, Santander Corporate & Commercial Banking, added: “We are pleased to have supported Database for Business with the acquisition of Totally Converged Solutions Ltd, working alongside Evolution Capital. This deal will allow DBFB to enhance its offering across the UK, providing businesses with better connectivity, telephony and IT solutions – we look forward to continuing working with the team as they grow.” The Evolution Capital team are proud to have advised and supported Simon and the dbfb team throughout the entire lifecycle of this acquisition, which reinforces dbfb’s position as a leading regional provider of connectivity, voice, mobile, and IT services, serving both SMEs and large enterprises with a uniquely personalised approach.

Transformational Deals: How Ambitious Leaders Achieve Exceptional M&A Outcomes

Exceptional outcomes. Selling a business. Making an acquisition. Securing investment. These are not mere corporate manoeuvres; they are inflection points that can redefine the future of a company… And the legacy of those who built it.For shareholders, founders and management teams, the transaction process is often uncharted territory: a landscape of asymmetric information, time pressure, and competing agendas. The questions are invariably as strategic as they are personal: – How can I prepare my business for exit without compromising performance? – Is the value on offer a fair reflection of business performance? – What lies beneath the surface of the numbers? – Where are the risks that aren’t yet obvious? – Most importantly: who can I trust to be in my corner, from start to finish? At Evolution Capital, we work with those for whom these questions matter most. We partner with the most ambitious buyers, sellers, investors and management teams to secure outcomes that are not just successful – but exceptional.We are not intermediaries. We are strategic advisors across the full M&A lifecycle, from preparation and positioning to diligence and negotiation. Our mandate is clear: to ensure value is maximised, downside is mitigated, and no opportunity is left unrealised. Our work is underpinned by EC Analytics, our proprietary technology platform designed to turn fragmented business data into strategic clarity. It delivers: – Improved quality of accounts, reporting and information – Clear visualisations of true, organic business performance – Realtime visibility of operational and commercial risk – Diligence-ready reporting for investors and acquirers – Data-driven insight that sharpens negotiation and elevates outcomes Whether advising a founder preparing for exit, a buyer seeking alignment between financials and future-fit operations, or an investor underwriting performance risk, our role is singular: to ensure clarity and conviction in every decision. If you’re considering a transaction or simply want to explore the art of the possible – we should talk.https://lnkd.in/dtBqrBtg0203 696 2810 More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Categories Acquired (2) Acquisition (8) Acquisition Strategy (77) Analytic Services (4) Blog (78) Business Acquisition (2) Business Aquired (2) Business Sale (23) Business Valuation and Research (1) Buy-Side (1) Buy-side M&A advice (1) Buyside M&A (3) Case Studies (59) Disposal (6) Financial Due Diligence (2) Fund raising and listing (2) Fundraising (3) Fundraising and M&A advice (3) ICT (2) IT (4) IT Managed Services (3) IT MSP (2) M&A advice (2) M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme (5) Managed Service and Mobile (1) Managed Services (2) MBO Management Buyout (1) Media (1) Merger (1) Multiple R&D Tax Claims (1) Sell-Side (2) Sell-side M&A Advice (1) Software (1) Strategic review & business sale (2) Strategic Review & partial sale (1) Technology (6) Telecoms (30) Telephony (1) Transaction Support (1) Unified Comms (3) Valuation and fundraising (1) Social Media Our Blog Related Articles View all blog posts Acquisition Strategy, Blog Transformational Deals: How Ambitious Leaders Achieve Exceptional M&A Outcomes December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital advises Comm-Tech on strategic sale to international MSP Your.Cloud December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Tech the Halls | The Evolution Capital Christmas Celebration December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog The first speaker announced December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Celebrating Success and Collaboration at Our Christmas Drinks Party December 2, 2025 What does Evolution Capital do?

Evolution Capital advises Comm-Tech on strategic sale to international MSP Your.Cloud
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Evolution Capital advises Comm-Tech on strategic sale to international MSP Your.Cloud Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology, Transaction December 2, 2025 Evolution Capital is pleased to have advised the shareholders of Norfolk-based Comm-Tech Voice & Data on its successful sale to European managed services group Your.Cloud, in a cross-border transaction that supports the business’s next phase of growth. The Background Founded in 1986, Comm-Tech has scaled from a regional mobile provider into a nationwide supplier of telecoms, connectivity and managed IT, operating as one of the top Vodafone partners in the UK, with a customer-first culture and longstanding relationships across its loyal customer base. Comm-Tech’s key strengths lie in its exceptional customer service, technical expertise, and strategic relationships with the industry’s top networks. Recognising the need for an adviser with both transactional and sector-specific knowledge, Comm-Tech’s shareholders appointed Evolution Capital to guide them through the complexities of the business sale process, seeking a partner who understood the nuances of the Technology and IT landscape and could prepare and position the business to the optimal strategic buyers in a transaction that unlocks maximum value. Your.Cloud is an international managed service provider with a strategy focused on acquiring strong-performing, entrepreneur-led MSPs across Europe. This deal strengthens its UK presence and gives Comm-Tech access to a broader pool of expertise, scale and strategic support, under Your.Cloud’s decentralised operational model. The acquisition marks Your.Cloud’s first UK investment in the telecoms space and reflects a shared ambition to bring together agile, local providers under one pan-European group, while preserving Comm-Tech’s individual identity and values. Advice, Planning and Preparation The Evolution Capital team, comprising both chartered accountants and industry specialists, undertook a granular analysis of the business. This included a detailed review of management information and scoping of the addressable market opportunity available to Comm-Tech. The culmination of this effort was a meticulously prepared proposition guided through a sales process that articulated the intrinsic and strategic value of the business, which was instrumental in attracting high-quality offers from a carefully curated list of well-funded acquirers. Evolution Capital acted as lead advisor on the transaction, who advised Comm-Tech’s shareholders throughout the full lifecycle of the sale process, from value verification and development, strategic planning and preparation, market positioning and buyer identification, to negotiation and deal execution. Successful Outcomes The Evolution Capital team provided a full suite of advisory services, including transaction readiness, market engagement, and deal execution, ensuring a seamless process and outstanding outcomes for all stakeholders. Brad Melfi, Transaction Executive at Evolution Capital, said: “We are delighted to have supported Justin and the Comm-Tech team on this important milestone. Their deep customer relationships and commitment to innovation made the business a highly attractive platform for a strategic acquirer. It has been a pleasure to help shape this partnership with Your.Cloud, and we’re confident it sets Comm-Tech up for continued success in the years ahead.” Comm Tech Managing Director Justin Millar commented: “Embarking on the sale of Comm-Tech was a major milestone for the shareholders of the business and I, and selecting the right advisor was absolutely pivotal to our success. Evolution Capital’s sector insight, commercial understanding and clarity of information and process throughout made a real difference at every stage. It felt like EC were a true extension of our team, and together, we delivered a fantastic outcome for the business” This deal further demonstrates Evolution Capital’s track record of creating exceptional outcomes for shareholders and leadership teams in the telecoms, IT and cloud services space, particularly in cross-border, strategic transactions where cultural alignment and long-term growth are prioritised.
