Our approach
See how the study worksA value that holds up in negotiation.
We correct EBITDA, compare your company with the market and stay with you until closing.
Market knowledge
We compare your company with businesses and deals of the same industry and size, to know where it sits in the range and why.
Support to closing
From the first number to the signature: we prepare the materials, talk to buyers and read every offer by your side.
Who it is for

Whether you want to sell your business, review an offer or bring in a partner, the study starts from your goal.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for owners thinking about valuing or selling their company.
Still have questions? Talk to a specialistHow do I find out what my business is worth?
The most common approach is to multiply EBITDA (operating profit) by an industry multiple and subtract net debt. A full valuation cross-checks this with a discounted cash flow and adjusts profit for items a buyer will not have.
Is the calculator free?
Yes. It gives an indicative value range from your industry, EBITDA, debt and four risk factors. No sign-up is needed to see the result.
Do you work with companies outside Brazil?
Yes. We work in English, Portuguese and Spanish, with owners who want to sell and with foreign investors who want to understand the value of a Brazilian company.
Is my company’s information kept confidential?
Yes. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving any numbers, and in a sale process the company is only identified to qualified buyers.
Have your company’s number before the next conversation.
The first conversation is free and carries no commitment. You tell us the goal; we tell you whether a study makes sense now and how it would be done.
