Frequently asked questions
Common questions, straight answers
Seven answers to what owners most want to know before a first read.
Is this a fixed value?
No, and never a single figure. The online tool gives you a range. The full value range, with the numbers, comes in the report. What a business ultimately sells for depends on the specifics of each case.
Are my inputs stored?
The first read runs entirely online. We keep your details only when you ask for the full report, so you can come back to it later.
How deep does the reading go?
This is a first orientation, not a formal valuation. The range is our own derivation: a European anchor from listed companies, adjusted by a DACH discount built from publicly available DACH reference points. Your inputs decide where within the range you land.
Which sectors are covered?
Ten fully calibrated sub-segments are live across three sectors: industrial Mittelstand, IT and software, and business services. Others, healthcare and MedTech among them, follow as the evidence base earns publication. How solid the evidence is for each sector is flagged with the result.
What does the calculator cost?
Nothing. The valuation is free, and so is the full report if you want to keep the result or pass it on.
What happens after the valuation?
The range appears straight away in the browser. From there you can examine the drivers, read the method, or request the full report.
What inputs are needed?
Sector, sub-segment, and country set the context. Annual revenue, EBITDA, and net debt fix the size. EBITDA trend, owner dependence, and the share of recurring revenue are the quality levers. EBITDA and the recurring share can be estimated; if a figure is unknown, a switch takes the sector median.
