Epsilon Research is a specialist provider of research, deal analysis and market intelligence on M&A and LBO transactions for the European Private Company M&A and Private Equity markets.

Its key product, e-MAT (« Epsilon Multiple Analysis Tool™ »), is a unique database of European deal analysis reports (1 to 500 m€ deal value) that includes the detailed calculation of acquisition multiples, accessible via its proprietary IT platform. It has quickly become a reference source in Europe for private company acquisition multiples.

• Financial databases (M&A transactions, company accounts);
• Pricing indices that measures the evolution of private company prices (per sector, country, type of deals, etc.);
• Market studies and analysis;
• Tailored service for private equity quarterly portfolio valuations.

Its ambition is to improve the transparency of private company market prices, the comprehension of the formation and evolution of these prices, for a greater efficiency of the investment / acquisition process of SMEs.

Epsilon's team is composed of corporate finance professionals (ex investment bankers) and financial analysts, Paris and London based. In 2008, it has received for its e-MAT database the label of Finance Innovation, the Paris-based global financial services cluster.
