Financial Due Diligence and Transaction Support

Evolution Capital is proud to advise Windsor Telecom’s on the successful acquisition of Yoozoom Technologies Ltd, which significantly enhances Windsor’s VoIP, cloud, and connectivity offerings. Evolution Capital primarily served as Windsor Telecom’s financial due diligence provider during this strategic acquisition with our role extending to also cover SPA support. The Evolution Capital Team provided comprehensive and rounded support, working closely with Windsor’s management team to navigate the transaction efficiently and effectively. We are proud to have played a pivotal role in Windsor Telecom’s continued expansion and are looking forward to partnering with Windsor as we continue to support them on their future growth plans.

The challenge

Windsor Telecom identified Yoozoom Technologies Ltd as a strategic acquisition to strengthen its VoIP, cloud and connectivity offering. As with any acquisition, the management team needed clear financial visibility on the target business, a robust understanding of underlying performance and confidence around the risks and opportunities within the transaction.

Given the strategic importance of the acquisition, Windsor also required advice that went beyond a conventional diligence process. This included analysis presented in a way that aligned with its own commercial priorities and support through the negotiation and completion phases of the deal.

Our advice

Evolution Capital was appointed to provide financial due diligence and SPA support to Windsor Telecom.

Using EC Analytics, our transaction team developed an interactive data model to help Windsor’s management team assess the target in greater depth. This enabled the business to understand key financial drivers, identify any critical red flags and evaluate the opportunity through a more practical and commercially relevant lens.

Our support extended beyond the standard scope of diligence. By combining transaction expertise with sector knowledge, we worked closely with Windsor to provide tailored analysis, support decision making during the acquisition process and help navigate the transaction efficiently through to completion.

The outcome

Windsor Telecom successfully completed the acquisition of Yoozoom Technologies Ltd, further enhancing its service offering and supporting its wider growth strategy.

Pete Tomlinson, CEO of Windsor Telecom commented:

“If I were to summarise the FDD process, I would say that FDD tends to be very backward-looking, but the EC Analytics platform turns it into something forward looking. Evolution Capital are gold dust to work with, frankly.” 

Evolution Capital’s financial due diligence and SPA support helped provide the management team with the clarity needed to move forward confidently. The use of EC Analytics also supported a more detailed understanding of the business, both in assessing the transaction rationale and in helping inform post completion integration.

This transaction followed Windsor Telecom’s acquisition of Connexus in 2023, further demonstrating its continued ambition to grow through strategic acquisition.

Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at Evolution Capital, said:

“We are delighted that Windsor Telecom’s team has successfully acquired Yoozoom Technologies Ltd. Windsor appointed Evolution Capital financial advisers on the acquisition, where we added significant value through our financial due diligence and SPA support services.

Leveraging EC Analytics, Evolution Capital’s support extended beyond the standard scope of financial due diligence. Our transaction team developed an interactive, data model platform enabling the Windsor management team to understand the key business drivers and identify any critical red flags. By applying our sector specific knowledge and transaction expertise, Evolution Capital collaborated with both parties to mitigate risks efficiently.

Everyone at Evolution Capital looks forward to supporting Windsor Telecom’s continued growth and future success.”
