Company Valuation

The value of a company is more than a number – it is the foundation for strategic decisions, negotiations and capital measures. A well-founded company valuation creates clarity, strengthens your negotiating position and is frequently the first step towards a successful IPO, financing round or company sale.

We prepare company valuations for a variety of purposes: capital market preparation, investor pitches, M&A transactions, shareholder disputes and internal strategic planning. In doing so, we apply recognised valuation methodologies – from discounted cash flow analysis and multiple-based approaches to precedent transaction comparisons.

Particularly valuable is our combination of financial methodology and deep market knowledge: as long-standing capital market participants and equity analysts, we understand how investors and stock exchanges assess companies – and what truly matters in practice.

The result is not merely an abstract model calculation, but a practical valuation with clear reasoning, transparent methodology and concrete recommendations for the next step.

Company Valuation

A professional company valuation is needed in preparation for an IPO or a capital round, in connection with company sales or participation transactions, upon changes in the shareholder structure, for succession planning, and in preparation for loan applications or bank discussions.

We rely on proven and internationally recognised methods: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), peer group multiples, precedent transaction analysis and net asset value approaches. The choice of methodology is guided by the purpose of the valuation and the maturity of the company.

As capital market experts, we incorporate the market perspective into every valuation: how does the stock market currently value comparable companies? What premiums or discounts are realistic for liquidity, control premiums or growth expectations?

A well-documented valuation is not an end in itself – it is a powerful instrument in negotiations with investors, buyers or banks. We prepare valuations in a manner that is convincing and robust, even in dialogue with external parties.

All valuation mandates are handled with strict confidentiality. Our assessments are independent and free from conflicts of interest – we exclusively represent the interests of our clients.

Compensation for valuation mandates is project-based and depends on the scope of the analysis, the complexity of the company and the intended purpose. We agree on transparent fixed fees or framework fees – with no hidden costs.
