Company valuation at a fixed price
Professional, market-oriented and transparent: event-based company valuations using recognised M&A methods, within a clearly defined framework and at a fixed price.
Market-oriented, not academic
The value of a company is not an arithmetic exercise, it is a market question. Our valuations combine Discounted Cash Flow analyses, trading multiples and transaction-based comparables, and they are market-oriented because we work in real M&A processes every day. The result is not an academic model, but bankable figures.
Typical occasions are succession considerations, changes in the shareholder structure, joint ventures, fairness opinions and corporate-law matters. And often the simplest question of all: What is my company actually worth?
Kick-off & documents
We agree on occasion, scope and required documents, financial statements, business plan, specifics of the business model, within a clearly defined framework at a fixed price.
Analysis & valuation
DCF analyses, trading multiples and transaction-based comparables, calibrated against what buyers actually pay in the market.
Valuation memorandum & discussion
A transparent memorandum with ranges, sensitivities and clearly documented assumptions, no black box. We discuss the results with you in person.
The low-threshold first step
Many clients approach succession or a sale through exactly this step: first the valuation, then deciding calmly whether and how to proceed.
- Suitable for internal discussion, as a basis for negotiations, or as a document for boards and shareholders
- Ranges, sensitivities and clearly documented assumptions instead of a single number
- If desired, the first step into a structured sale or succession process
DuoTherm Rolladen → BPE
André Barth approached the succession topic through a company valuation. The assessment turned into a structured process: he sold the majority to Hamburg-based investment company BPE and stayed on board as managing partner. Today, DuoTherm is part of the Stella Group.

Which valuation methods do you use?
A combination of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analyses, trading multiples and transaction-based comparables. What matters is calibration against the market: we work in real M&A processes every day and know what buyers actually pay.
What does a company valuation cost?
We work at a fixed price, agreed transparently before we start. It depends on scope and complexity, with no open-ended hourly budgets and no surprises.
What do I receive as a result?
A transparent valuation memorandum with ranges, sensitivities and clearly documented assumptions, no black box. Suitable for internal discussion, as a basis for negotiations, or as a document for boards and shareholders.
Is the valuation a first step towards a sale?
It can be, but it does not have to be. Many clients use the valuation to decide calmly whether and how to proceed. At DuoTherm, the valuation entry point later became a structured sale process, with the founder staying on board.
What is your company worth?
The event-based valuation at a fixed price is the non-binding first step.
