Valuation Isn't Exact Science.
But It Must Be Transparent.
Every valuation method tells a different story. The art lies in choosing the right method for your context and critically interpreting the results.
Methodologically sound. Sector-specific. Transparent.
Why valuations so often lead to conflict
I receive a purchase offer based on multiples but don't understand whether the multiple is appropriate.
I have two valuation opinions that diverge by 40% and don't know which is correct.
I want to have my company valued, but the valuation firm doesn't know my industry.
I'm negotiating a purchase price and need robust arguments for my price expectation.

What happens without sound valuation?
- Overpayment: Buyers without their own valuation rely on seller figures and systematically overpay.
- Undervaluation: Sellers without an opinion give away value because they don't know their own position.
- Negotiation disadvantage: Without robust valuation, the argumentation basis for price negotiation is missing.
- Wrong structure: Without understanding value components, the wrong transaction structure is chosen.
