Your journey · Valuation
You are not selling. You just want to know.
The question returns with every year-end, every approach from a peer or a fund: what is the business worth, really? Not the flattering number: the one that would hold up in front of a buyer.
What is at stake right now.
The day an offer arrives, everything turns on preparation. An owner who first hears their valuation from a buyer's mouth negotiates on the defensive, on the other side's ground.
The institutions that track the market see it plainly: 70% of owners had taken no concrete step one year before their planned transfer (Bpifrance Le Lab, November 2025).
What Diligeo brings at this stage.
An outside read of your own numbers, run the way a buyer would run it: what carries the value, what will be discounted, and the defensible order of magnitude that follows. In writing, for your eyes only.
Our valuation method is public: restated EBITDA base, size-adjusted multiple, equity value, total cost for the buyer.
What we do not do at this stage.
- We do not carry sale mandates and we do not look for buyers.
- We do not perform statutory valuations (tax, gift, litigation): that is your accountant's and notary's ground.
- We share nothing with anyone: the read is for your use alone.
