The buyer panel4 of 4 would engage
Looks at growth & recurring revenue
Reads it as interested. Decent growth and a defensible niche. Worth a conversation.
Needs to see: signed customer contracts and retention history
Looks at the multiple & earnings quality
Reads it as interested. Healthy margins and a fair multiple. Workable.
Needs to see: three years of clean, add-back-adjusted earnings
Looks at debt-serviceability
Could fund a solid slice of the deal. Cash flows can service acquisition debt.
Needs to see: stable cash flows and security to lend against
Looks at risk & books quality
Reads it as interested. Solid. I'd just tidy the top-client concentration.
Needs to see: revenue spread across clients and documented systems
"Sellable and financeable. Close the last gaps and you're in A-grade territory."

Why the number holds up

Not broker puffery. A defensible, SA-calibrated valuation you can take to a buyer, a bank or your board.

A distribution, not a guess

1,600 simulated outcomes give a P10–P90 range and a confidence band, not one false-precision number.

SA-calibrated

ZAR, SARB rates, country and size risk, and sector multiples. Grounded in Damodaran data, tuned for the SA SME market.

Multi-method

SDE, EBITDA, DCF and asset, blended. The methods real buyers and lenders actually use, weighed together.

Traceable & advisor-calibrated

Every rand traces to a driver and method, calibrated with M&A advisors. Escalate to a signed human verdict when you're ready.
