    Limits of the indication

    • Checked holds no market prices or comparable transactions.
    • Anything after the latest accounts and items off the balance sheet (guarantees, leases, disputes) are left out.
    • Checked does not know the real value of buildings, stock and receivables. Enter your own revaluation or adjustment for it.
    • The owner's role in the business, synergies for a buyer and the tax consequences of a sale are left out.

    For a valuation to base a decision on, go to a company auditor or a certified accountant.
