Step two

And what is your company worth?

Once you know the buyers, you need the range. Three methods — EBITDA multiple, revenue multiple and owner earnings — produce a span rather than a single number. The span is what gets negotiated.

FAQ

Before you start: your questions

The key answers on valuation, buyers and confidentiality.

How do I know what my company is worth?

Feldberg's free AI valuation gives you a first, well-founded estimate of your company's value within minutes — based on comparable transactions and market multiples. The valuation is indicative and serves as orientation, not as a binding appraisal.

Does my interest in selling stay confidential?

Yes. Feldberg works without a public listing, your data is never shared without your consent, and you decide when and with whom you make contact. Once your data is complete, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) between Feldberg and the selling company is created automatically.

Do I have to commit to anything to use Feldberg?

No. You can use Feldberg to understand your company's value and test the market without committing to a sale. You stay in control at every step and decide yourself whether and when to go further.

Who could buy my company?

Feldberg identifies qualified buyers that fit your market, your size and your strategic direction — from strategic acquirers to private equity investors. You see early who could be a potential partner, before the first conversation.

How is Feldberg different from a traditional M&A adviser?

Feldberg does not replace the adviser — it gives you the information advantage beforehand. You understand your company's value, potential buyers and the mechanics of a sale before you enter conversations or mandates — faster, confidentially and without high upfront cost.

Am I even ready to sell?

You do not need to know that in advance. Feldberg helps you answer exactly that question: with an indicative valuation, a view of potential buyers and guides that show what matters in a sale. You find out calmly whether the timing is right for you.

How does a company sale actually work?

A sale usually starts with the valuation of your company, followed by identifying suitable buyers, first confidential conversations, due diligence and finally negotiating price and terms. Feldberg supports you through the early phases and explains every step in detailed guides — from valuation to earn-outs and reinvestments.

What does Feldberg cost me?

Feldberg is free for sellers. Indicative valuation, buyer research and guides are available without upfront cost — discreet and without obligation.

Identify buyers

We find strategic and financial buyers that fit your market, size and direction — discreetly and without a public listing.
