Business Valuation
The question of business value lies at the heart of almost every major decision: sale, succession, change of shareholders, strategic realignment. And it is a question that business owners often carry with them for years without ever having a reliable answer. We provide you with this answer - not as a theoretical formula, but as a market-based assessment that reflects what a buyer would actually pay today.
A good valuation is not just an Excel formula. It requires an understanding of your business model, your industry and current market conditions. We combine recognised valuation methods - income approach, multiples, DCF - with our experience from real transactions in the mid-market. The result is not just a range, but a transparent derivation you can use in conversations with buyers, banks or shareholders.
Many valuations fail because they ignore the difference between theoretical value and achievable price. We know the market - which multiples are currently being paid in your industry, which factors drive the price up, and where discounts may be expected. This market perspective makes our valuation practically applicable.
As part of our valuation, we identify the factors that significantly determine the value of your business - and show you which ones you can actively influence. Often, targeted measures in the months before a sale can achieve substantial value increases.
When you are considering a sale in the next one to three years and want to know whether the step is financially worthwhile - and what your business can realistically achieve on the market.
When you want to understand which levers most significantly influence your business value - and where targeted measures before a sale could substantially increase the achievable price.
When you need a reliable, transparent valuation basis relative to co-shareholders, heirs or banks - for example in the case of entry or exit of a shareholder, a gift or a dispute over an estate.
When you have already received a purchase offer or valuation and need an independent second opinion to assess whether the price quoted is appropriate.
When a sale is not yet on the immediate horizon, but you want to know the approximate value of your business - as a basis for your personal and business planning.
In the context of a confidential initial conversation, we provide you with a first, indicative assessment of your business value. Free of charge and without obligation.
A detailed, written valuation based on your financial figures, market comparisons and a thorough analysis of your business model. Scope and fee are discussed individually - you typically receive the result within two to four weeks.
