The challenge For acquisitive businesses, the ability to assess a target quickly and effectively is critical. Beyond understanding historic financial performance, management teams need clear insight into the underlying drivers of the business, the quality of earnings and any issues that could influence value or execution. In this case, DSP required focused, commercially relevant financial due diligence to support decision making around a potential acquisition and ensure key risks and considerations were identified at the right stage of the process. Our advice Evolution Capital was appointed to provide financial due diligence support to DSP on the transaction. Our role was to analyse the target business in detail, helping DSP’s management team understand financial performance, working capital considerations and the key issues likely to impact the acquisition. Throughout the process, we worked closely with the team to present findings clearly and practically, ensuring that the diligence output supported informed discussions and confident decision making. By combining transaction experience with a hands on and responsive approach, we delivered analysis tailored to the needs of the management team and the pace of the deal. The outcome Evolution Capital’s financial due diligence provided DSP with a clearer view of the target business and the issues most relevant to the transaction. Our work helped the management team assess the opportunity with greater confidence, supported negotiations and contributed to a more informed acquisition process overall. Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at Evolution Capital, said: “Supporting acquisitive management teams requires more than simply presenting financial information. It means delivering clarity around the issues that really matter and helping clients focus on the areas most likely to influence value, risk and execution. We were pleased to support DSP on this opportunity and provide financial due diligence that enabled the team to assess the target with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of the business.” For more information on EC Ananlytics, our transaction services and financial due diligence support, please click here More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Business Aquired DSP Business Aquired Babble Business Aquired Chess ICT Categories <lidata-term-id=”90″> Acquired <lidata-term-id=”64″> Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”13″> Acquisition Strategy <lidata-term-id=”10″> Analytic Services <lidata-term-id=”29″> Blog <lidata-term-id=”58″> Business Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”56″> Business Aquired <lidata-term-id=”6″> Business Sale <lidata-term-id=”66″> Business Valuation and Research <lidata-term-id=”11″> Buy-Side <lidata-term-id=”101″> Buy-side M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”65″> Buyside M&A <lidata-term-id=”28″> Case Studies <lidata-term-id=”81″> Disposal <lidata-term-id=”8″> Financial Due Diligence <lidata-term-id=”68″> Fund raising and listing <lidata-term-id=”54″> Fundraising <lidata-term-id=”75″> Fundraising and M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”94″> ICT <lidata-term-id=”53″> IT <lidata-term-id=”62″> IT Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”61″> IT MSP <lidata-term-id=”55″> M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”60″> M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme <lidata-term-id=”105″> Managed Service and Mobile <lidata-term-id=”52″> Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”67″> MBO Management Buyout <lidata-term-id=”83″> Media <lidata-term-id=”59″> Merger <lidata-term-id=”63″> Multiple R&D Tax Claims <lidata-term-id=”12″> Sell-Side <lidata-term-id=”51″> Sell-side M&A Advice <lidata-term-id=”88″> Software <lidata-term-id=”96″> Strategic review & business sale <lidata-term-id=”69″> Strategic Review & partial sale <lidata-term-id=”57″> Technology <lidata-term-id=”7″> Telecoms <lidata-term-id=”98″> Telephony <lidata-term-id=”107″> Transaction Support <lidata-term-id=”95″> Unified Comms <lidata-term-id=”86″> Valuation and fundraising Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support DSP March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Babble March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Chess ICT March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Redline Business Sale March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Comm-Tech Business Sale March 27, 2026 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

Evolution Capital advised the shareholders of Insite,Europe’s top provider of Microsoft Dynamics AX hosting and managed services in the cloud, on the sale of the company to Six Degrees (6DG) in May 2016. The company owns and operates its own tier 3 aligned data centre where it hosts private cloud infrastructure, dedicated to each client,upon which it builds tailored platforms to operate ERP and CRM platforms,predominantly but not exclusively for Microsoft applications. Insite is a Microsoft Gold Partner for Server and Data platforms, plus Hosting, bringing critical Microsoft Azure public cloud knowledge to 6DG. Heavily focused on application up time, Insite includes application performance monitoring, highly pro-active support and robust security controls within its service wrapper. End-users include Greenwich Leisure Limited, Tarmac Building Products, Crew Clothing, Joules and Countrywide Farmers. In addition to the well documented continuing growth in the cloud market, the company’s client base and know-how represents a serious growth opportunity for buyers with large client bases for cross-selling. The Challenge After 20 years of growing the business, founder and MD James Barden was keen to explore a sale of the business in order to pursue other interests. Evolution Capital identified, via a strategic review, the business had a proven model and would be extremely valuable to large players. Whilst the company was likely to continue its targeted growth profile within its current parameters, a more aggressive sales-led strategy would yield even more success and value. Insite employed Evolution Capital to find a suitable buyer for the business. Advice, planning and preparation The Evolution Capital team developed a sales proposition based on commercial information provided by company. The key aspects of the business are: · Extremely profitable, cash generative growingbusiness with an impressive financial track record · Highly efficient operation focused on marketleading service delivery and client retention. · Highly skilled and loyal workforce · State-of-the art data centre equipped with thelatest and highest quality IT infrastructure · Market leader and specialist in its field · Strong corporate focus with high value, premium and long term contracts of between three and five years · Excellent and steadily expanding client base with a superb retention rate · Outstanding service delivery and customer reputation Evolution Capital prides itself on knowing most of the key buyers in the TMT sector; a network that has been developed over two decades advising on deals within the industry. It identified and approached a number of potential buyers on behalf of Insite and negotiations were instigated. Interest in Insite was high resulting in a number of offers being put forward for consideration. A successful outcome Insite agreed to a private sale of 100% of the entire issued share capital of the trading business to managed services provider 6DG in May 2016 for an undisclosed sum. With customers spanning both private and public sectors, Insite brought critical Microsoft Azure public cloud knowledge to 6DG. Alastair Mills, the then CEO of Six Degrees, commented:“This announcement is a continuation of our stated strategic goal to enhance our capabilities in mission-critical application hosting, with a secure and compliant wrap, for business and government customers. It also provides Microsoft Azure expertise in the public cloud for both IaaS and PaaS, as well as a strong ISV partner channel.” James Barden, MD of Insite, added: “The Insite team is excited about the opportunity this combination presents. The technical capabilities of both businesses are highly complementary and our approach to the way we work with customers is a very close fit. We are looking forward to introducing new capabilities from Six Degrees in addition to the expertise in mission-critical hosting we have been delivering to our customers for many years.” More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Case Studies Insite Acquisition Recarta Case Studies Synergy Associates Categories Acquisition Analytic Services Business Acquisition Business Aquired Business Sale Buy-Side Case Studies Disposal Financial Due Diligence Fundraising and M&A advice IT Managed Services IT MSP M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme Merger Sell-Side Sell-side M&A Advice Technology Telecoms Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Case Studies, Disposal, IT MSP Insite December 2, 2025 Acquisition, Case Studies, IT Managed Services Recarta December 2, 2025 Case Studies, Merger, Technology Synergy Associates December 2, 2025 Case Studies, M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme, Telecoms BNS December 2, 2025 Business Sale, Case Studies, Telecoms Virtue Broadcasting December 2, 2025 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.
