Discover the Value of Your Business!

NIMBO is the only online company valuation that is based on its own extensive and current market data with real purchase offers for SMEs. NIMBO adjusts the algorithm every month in order to ensure that the valuation is aligned with actual purchase offers received. Thanks to the extensive data, NIMBO can also empirically record the influence of qualitative factors (dependencies, risks, potential, etc.) and incorporate these into the business valuation. With its 13-page evaluation, the valuation report is fairly extensive. In addition, the business valuation is specifically designed for SMEs, is kept simple and understandable even for the layperson. The business valuation does not require registration, and there is a detailed free version.

NIMBO asks every company owner who carries out an evaluation with us whether they have received a purchase offer for their company in the past two years. If so, we ask additional questions about the exact circumstances of the purchase offer: type of buyer, buyer’s motivation, valuation method, etc. Together with the other dozens of questions about the company, we have a uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date data set for company valuation.

NIMBO’s uniquely comprehensive data set allows us to observe not only the current market multiples for individual industries and countries, but also how these multiples change on average when a company performs better than others in a qualitative characteristic (for example, lower employee turnover ).

The data is aggregated and used anonymously to improve the NIMBO algorithm. If requested, the data will be deleted. Under no circumstances will your data be passed on to third parties.

No. All you have to do is provide an email address to which we will send the results of the company evaluation. We will not use your email address for further emails unless you subscribe to our newsletter.

The test includes around 30 questions – depending on the industry and a few other factors. The answer takes on average 20 minutes. The evaluation usually takes place 30-60 minutes after the questionnaire has been completed. You will receive the report by email.

The test is particularly suitable for established, especially owner-managed SMEs with up to 100 employees. Projected values for the future should be comprehensible and realistic. The business valuation is not suitable for businesses in transition or with extraordinarily high growth expectations. A positive EBIT is required.  Even though a projected value can be used in this context of course, the test is only to a limited extent recommended for start-ups. 

Yes absolutely. The company valuation was even developed with a focus on SMEs and NIMBO has an exceptional data set for valuing SMEs, for which it is otherwise very difficult to find data.

No. NIMBO uses the multiplier method. This is based on the status quo of the company. A startup must be evaluated with an eye to the future and that is much more subjective than evaluating an established company. A simplified company valuation should not be carried out online when valuing startups. Other valuation methods, such as the discounted cash flow method, are more suitable.

Required figures are representative sales, profits before taxes, interest and managing director compensation, (estimated) extraordinary income and expenses, financial liabilities and cash balances. A large proportion of the questions are of a qualitative nature.

Valuing a company is never an exact matter. An online company valuation can provide an initial indication and complement other valuation methods. The NIMBO company valuation shows what kind of purchase offers other similar companies are currently receiving on the market. However, it can never take all company-specific factors into account. However, the company valuation offers a good initial indication.

You will receive an initial indication of the value of your company and will be made aware of the relevant points that determine its value. The value is not identical to the price that can actually be achieved on the market. We would be happy to advise you free of charge on the correct interpretation of your results.

The free company value calculator contains the calculation of the important financial indicators, the relevant market data and the valuation result. It does not contain any more detailed information about the qualitative factors (dependencies, risks, market position, etc.) that influence the company valuation.

With the standard version you can easily change the specified data and receive a new evaluation report every time. You will also receive in-depth insights into how your company compares to other companies in the same industry in terms of qualitative factors and how these affect the company’s value. With the Standard Version Plus you also receive the report as a Powerpoint. You can adapt it to your design as you wish and integrate individual slides into other presentations.

No, the company valuation calculator delivers the same result for all versions. However, the standard version offers more insights into the reasons for the evaluation, in particular the effects of the company’s qualitative value drivers.

When valuing a company, NIMBO looks at the current year (forecast) as well as the past two years and forms the average of the respective financial figures. If individual years are not representative of the company’s future development (rapid growth, new business areas, etc.), you can also hide individual years. Adjustments can be made for extraordinary expenses and income in individual years.

Evaluating a company using an online company value calculator can be particularly helpful in the early considerations and initial planning of a company sale in order to understand what price could be realistic. When selling a company, you should definitely involve a specialist who will take a detailed look at the company.

We monitor the market multipliers for each country, industry and company size. The lowest 25% and the highest 25% of the observed purchase offers are cut off. The evaluation range therefore ranges from 25% to 75% quantile. Where the company valuation lies within this range depends on the company-specific factors.

Yes, there is. When completing the business valuation, you can select the option of a 12-month subscription.

You can change the details up to 30 days after purchase. If that’s not enough, you can contact us.

If the result cannot be found in your spam folder, please send us an email to [email protected] and we will take care of it promptly.

In a few individual cases, the appendix with the company valuation is defective. Write us an email to [email protected] and we will send you a new version as soon as possible.

Some printers cannot handle the transparent elements in the PDF version. It usually helps to flatten the PDF before printing. You can find a free provider to flatten the PDF here, for example: https://www.sejda.com/de/flatten-pdf. We are happy to be of assistance with any problems you may encounter.
