Evolution Capital has launched EC Analytics 2.0, a groundbreaking data analytics platform, at the 2025 Financial Due Diligence Forum held at The Reform Club in London. Dubbed the “next generation of due diligence,” EC Analytics 2.0 promises to transform how businesses approach mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by replacing static, outdated reports with a dynamic, real-time dashboard.
Why EC Analytics 2.0?
Traditional Financial Due Diligence (FDD) often involves lengthy, static reports that quickly become obsolete in fast-paced deal environments. EC Analytics 2.0 introduces a streamlined digital dashboard that integrates live data, giving users real-time insights and the ability to explore the data interactively. The platform is designed for buyers, sellers, SMEs, and investors to reduce delays, improve decision-making, and drive value.
Key Features and Benefits
-
For Buyers: Drill down into customer retention, revenue streams, and regional growth metrics to confidently evaluate acquisition opportunities without sifting through hundreds of pages.
-
For Sellers: Present businesses in a flexible, engaging format that reduces rework and keeps buyers interested. Gain visibility into buyer concerns to address issues proactively.
-
For Investors: Access live data to make quicker, data-driven decisions, including anticipating pricing trends.
-
For SMEs: Gain access to high-quality data previously available only to large corporations, enabling smarter acquisitions and scalable growth.
“I want interactive data in a format I recognise,” says Ian Fishwick, Serial Acquirer and Client Services Director at Evolution Capital. “Static reports fail to capture the full picture. EC Analytics 2.0 evolves alongside the business, giving stakeholders confidence to act decisively.”
A New Standard for M&A
Attendees at the forum witnessed a live demonstration of EC Analytics 2.0, manipulating data at the touch of a button in real time. From evaluating growth drivers to presenting financials in customised formats, the platform impressed with its versatility and its potential to save up to 90% of the time typically spent updating reports.
“This isn’t just about data presentation,” said Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at Evolution Capital. “It’s about promoting better conversations and accelerating deal success.”
The Future of Due Diligence is Here
As M&A activity accelerates in a post-pandemic world, EC Analytics 2.0 offers businesses the agility they need to make faster, smarter decisions.
