Compliance & Standards
How MANDA Institute approaches data protection, financial-crime risk, conflicts of interest, and responsible valuation, written plainly and honestly.
- Important: what MANDA is, and what it isn't
- MANDA Institute is a technology platform that provides indicative business valuations and introductions between business owners and potential buyers or advisors, operated by Leptis Magna Capital. We are not a bank, a licensed investment firm, or a regulated financial, legal, or tax advisor, and the platform is currently in beta. Our valuations and analyses are indicative estimates for guidance only, not investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Where an activity requires a licence or authorisation, we work with appropriately licensed partners.
- The key points, in plain language.
- We follow GDPR principles for the data you share with us.
- No regulated advice
- Indicative valuations and introductions, not investment, legal, or tax advice.
- Confidential by default
- Your non-public business information stays confidential.
- Fair & transparent
- Clear fees, managed conflicts, and honest dealing.
- This summary is for convenience only; the full statement below is what applies.
- Our Approach to Compliance
- MANDA Institute is operated by Leptis Magna Capital and works remote-first across the EU, EEA, and EFTA, with hubs in Luxembourg, Amsterdam, and Belgrade. We aim to operate responsibly, transparently, and within the law in every market we serve.
- Our commitments
- Because the platform is in beta, we set out here the principles and commitments that guide us, rather than claiming certifications or regulatory status we do not hold.
- What We Do, and What We Don't
- What we provide
- What we are not
- Where a specific activity requires a licence or authorisation, we work with appropriately licensed partners or obtain the necessary registrations. You should take your own professional advice before making decisions.
- Data Protection & GDPR
- We handle personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
- What this means in practice
- Your rights and complaints
- You can exercise your data protection rights, or raise a concern, through our contact page. If you are in the EU, EEA, or EFTA, you also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
- Financial Crime & Sanctions
- We take a risk-based approach to preventing fraud, money laundering, and sanctions breaches that is proportionate to our activities as a valuation and introductions platform.
- Steps we take
- We expect users to provide accurate information and to use the platform only for lawful purposes.
- Conflicts of Interest
- Because we intend to earn a success fee when a transaction completes, we are open about the incentives that can create and how we manage them. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
- How we manage conflicts
- Valuation Standards & Limitations
- How we value
- Our valuations use widely recognised approaches (discounted cash flow, market multiples, and comparable transactions) applied to the information you provide and to market benchmarks.
- Important limitations
- Information Security
- Measures we use
- Honest limits
- No online service can be guaranteed 100% secure. We work to protect your data and will act promptly if an issue arises, but we cannot promise absolute security.
- Fair Dealing & Ethics
- What you can expect
- Complaints & Concerns
- How to raise something
- If something has gone wrong, please tell us through our contact page so we can look into it. We aim to acknowledge complaints promptly and to give a substantive response as quickly as we reasonably can.
- Other routes
- For data protection matters, you can also contact the data protection authority in your EU, EEA, or EFTA country. Your statutory and consumer rights are not affected by this statement.
- Changes & Contact
- We review these commitments regularly and update them as our platform, technology, and the law change. We will update the 'Last updated' date above when we do.
- Get in touch

- FOR BUYERS
- FOR SELLERS
- Ready to know your number?
- The instant benchmark gives you an indicative value range in under 60 seconds, measured against completed sales of medium sized European businesses. 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.
