The templates give a well-founded first estimate based on recognised valuation methods. For a binding valuation, for example as part of a company sale or for the German tax office (Finanzamt), I recommend bringing in an auditor (Wirtschaftsprüfer) or tax adviser. The results work well as a starting point for further discussions.
Yes, you may also use the templates for your clients, for example as a tax adviser, management consultant or M&A adviser. I only ask that you credit dealorigination.de as the source.
