How to Calculate Your Company Value

The SourcingClub company valuation calculator is based on two proven valuation methods commonly used in M&A practice. The multiple method multiplies your adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) by an industry-specific multiple that reflects what buyers in the DACH mid-market pay for comparable companies.

EBIT adjustment is a crucial step: the managing director's salary is adjusted to a market-rate level, and one-time extraordinary effects are factored out. This creates a realistic picture of your company's sustainable earnings power.

Additionally, the tool calculates the company value using the simplified earnings value method. The sustainable earnings are discounted with a capitalization rate that accounts for your company's individual risk profile. Eight qualitative factors — from owner dependency to customer concentration to investment backlog — feed into both valuations for a differentiated assessment.

Why Timing Is Everything

A company valuation is not a one-time event — it's a strategic tool. Many owner-managed companies in the DACH region face the question of succession, often without a clear picture of their life's work's value. The right time for an initial valuation is not when the sale is decided — but much earlier.

Knowing your company value allows you to specifically work on the levers that increase value: reducing customer concentration, documenting processes, decreasing owner dependency. Every year invested in this optimization can increase the achievable price by 20–40%.

What Comes After the Valuation

SourcingClub specializes in deal origination — I discreetly identify and contact the right buyers for your company. Whether private equity, strategic buyers, or family offices: I use my personal network in the DACH region to create the connection that truly fits.

After an initial valuation, you can discuss in a confidential conversation with me what options the market offers for your company — without obligation, without time pressure. Sometimes the best advice is not to sell yet. I tell you that openly too.
