European Valuation Benchmarks
Explore the sector valuation ranges used by our valuation engine, with their source and confidence shown alongside.
- Multiple ranges by sector
- Medium sized European businesses sold for about 8.6× their profit in Q1 2026, according to the Argos Mid-Market Index, which tracks completed sales and is published by Argos Wityu. Our sector ranges are estimates calibrated to that all industry figure.
- Ranges come from the same benchmark observations our valuation engine uses. Each row below names its own source and confidence tier. The 8.6× citrine line is the all industry eurozone reference for Q1 2026, according to the Argos Mid-Market Index.
- 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. No country adjustment is made to this eurozone reference multiple. This is a published index, not verified transaction data that MANDA holds.

The full valuation takes about 5 minutes, uses your own financials and shows up to four methods. Both are free. Both are indicative estimates, not a formal appraisal.
- The one success fee we intend to charge applies only when a deal closes. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
