You built it. Know its worth.
A clearer view of your company, the evidence behind its value, and the decisions ahead. Start with the business you know.
- Free company details entry. No account or card.
- A life's work. Not just a line in a spreadsheet.
- Whether you are considering a sale, raising capital or simply thinking ahead, understanding your company is a useful place to begin.
- MANDA brings the information together: what you know, what the accounts show, and what still needs evidence. Nothing here commits you to selling.
- Make sense of what you already have.
- You do not need to arrive with a polished data room. Begin with your company details, then work through the information a fuller assessment needs.
- The free entry and a full report are separate steps. A full report requires a private account, financial information and supporting evidence.
- A business, in context.
- The business, its market and your authority to provide information.
- Completed reporting periods, source units and the earnings behind the business.
- Documents, declared adjustments and checks that make the working traceable.
- Saved answers are not verified evidence. Report eligibility is checked separately.
- A benchmark. Not a promise.
- The published market gives a reference point, not a price for your business. Size, earnings, risk and the buyer all matter.
- Times EBITDA. Published buyer group medians.
- Who buys the business changes the price. Companies buying a competitor paid about 7,9× profit. Investment funds paid about 10,2×.
- Published index, not verified transaction data held by MANDA. Sector figures are MANDA estimates, not figures published by Argos.
- The index only covers businesses inside the eurozone that are not listed on a stock exchange, worth between 15 million and 500 million euros, where the buyer took control rather than a minority stake. Each figure is a rolling median over six months. Three industries are left out of the index entirely: financial services, real estate, and high technology. Argos does not collect them, so any figure we show for those industries is ours alone and is not supported by this source. Argos publishes one figure covering all industries together. It does not publish a separate figure for any single industry, so every per industry number on this platform is our own estimate worked out from that one figure, not something Argos published.
- One step at a time. On your terms.
- Start small. Add detail when you are ready. You can stop after any step.
- See your number
- Free, with no account and no name.
- Answer a few questions about your sector, your country, your revenue and your profit. You get an indicative range back, with the benchmark it is calibrated against and the reasoning underneath it. You do not create an account and you do not give us your name.
- Make it real
- Add your accounts and watch the range tighten.
- The first number is built on the little we know. Add your accounts and the adjustments a buyer would make get made in the open, one at a time, and the range narrows around your business rather than around businesses like yours.
- Choose your path
- Sell, sell part, raise or wait. You decide.
- Knowing the number does not commit you to anything. Sell the whole business, sell part of it, raise money against it, or decide the timing is wrong and wait. Every one of those is a real answer, and waiting is the one most owners never price properly.
- Confidence begins with the questions.
- Which earnings are recurring? What would it cost to run the company without you? What supports an adjustment?
- The answers matter more than a polished number. A full report makes sources, assumptions and unresolved requirements part of the picture.
- Understand the language. Then ask better questions.
- What is my business worth?
- A starting point for the owner's most important question.
- Understanding EBITDA
- What earnings tell you, and what they leave out.
- Preparing for due diligence
- The information behind a more informed conversation.
- Your company. A clearer starting point.
- Free company details entry. No obligation to sell. An indicative estimate is not a formal appraisal.
- Perspective for what comes next.
- Free to start. No account needed for the instant benchmark.
- The benchmark is indicative, not a formal appraisal. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
