Discover the Value of Your Business!

NIMBO is the only online business valuation based on its own extensive and current market data with real purchase offers for SMEs. Every month, NIMBO adjusts the algorithm to adapt the valuation to the actual purchase offers received. Thanks to the extensive data, NIMBO can also empirically capture the influence of qualitative factors (dependencies, risks, potentials, etc.) and incorporate them into the company valuation. With a 13-page evaluation, the assessment report is very comprehensive. In addition, the company valuation is specifically geared for small business valuation, kept simple and understandable for the layman. The company evaluation does not require registration and there is a detailed free version.

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

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 one company outperforms others in a qualitative characteristic (for example, lower employee turnover).

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

No. You only need to provide an email address, to which we will send the result of the company evaluation. We will not use your email address for further emails unless you sign up for our newsletter.

Depending on the industry and some other factors, the test comprises around 30 questions. It takes an average of 20 minutes to answer. The evaluation usually takes place 30-60 minutes after completion of the questionnaire. You will receive the report by mail.

The test is particularly suitable for established, especially owner-operated SMEs with up to 100 employees. Expected values for the future should be comprehensible and realistic. For companies in transition or with extraordinarily high growth expectations, the company valuation is not suitable. A positive EBIT is required. Even though an expected value can of course be used here, the test is only conditionally recommendable for startups.

Yes absolutely. The company valuation with the intend of small business valuation. NIMBO has an exceptional data set for the valuation of 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 valued with a view to the future, which is much more subjective than valuing an established company. For the valuation of startups, a simplified business valuation should not be performed online. Other valuation, such as the discounted cash flow method is more appropriate.

Required figures are the representative turnover, profit before taxes, interest and management compensation, (estimated) extraordinary income and expenses, financial liabilities and cash balance. A large part of the questions are qualitative.

Valuing a company is never an exact matter. An online business 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 into account all company-specific factors. However, the company valuation offers a good first point of reference.

You will get a first indication of the value of your company and will be sensitized for the relevant points that determine the value. The value is not identical with the price that can actually be achieved on the market. We will be happy to advise you free of charge on the correct interpretation of your results.

The free Company Value Calculator includes the calculation of important financial ratios, relevant market data, and the valuation result. It does not contain more detailed information on 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 get a new valuationevery time. In addition, you will gain in-depth insights into how your company stands in relation to other companies in the same industry in terms of qualitative factors and how these affect the value of the company. With the Standard Plus version, you also receive the report as a PowerPoint. So you can adapt it to your design as you like and integrate individual slides into other presentations.

No, the business valuation calculator provides the same result for all versions. However, the standard version provides more insight into the reasons for the valuation, particularly the effects of the firm’s qualitative value drivers.

By default, NIMBO considers the current year (forecast) as well as the two previous years for the company valuation and calculates the average from the respective financial ratios. If individual years are not representative for the future development of the company (rapid growth, new business areas, etc.), you can also hide individual years. Adjustments may be made for extraordinary expenses and income in individual years.

Using an online company value calculator to value a business can be particularly helpful in early considerations and initial planning for a company sale to understand what price might be realistic. When selling a company, however, you should always consult a specialist who will take a detailed look at the company.

We monitor market multiples for the respective country, industry and company size. The lowest 25% and the highest 25% of the observed buy offers are truncated. The valuationthus extends from the 25% to 75% quantile. Where the business valuation lies within this range depends on company-specific factors.

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