I have to evaluate a company to decide if it's a good investment decision or not, but I am stuck

Hey there, I wanted to ask if anyone has expertise in typical PE cases/M&A evaluations? I am working on a task right now, but am stuck and don't know if I'm doing the right thing :/

Hi there,

Yes I do! In fact most coaches will.

If you're looking for help, you should message a few coaches to see who you think will be best. Just keep in mind though it's not going to be free.

That's what I've been doing 50% of the time for the past few years…  :)

Why don't you post your specific concern, and I and others should be able to help.

Hi there,

I am pretty sure you can get some good feedback.

However, I would recommend to post the question. Without that it is difficult to help ;)

In the meantime, you can find some tips here on how to find the value via DCF:

Hi there,

If you want some free input, your best bet will be to post the problem here with your suggested approach - this will generate plenty of input from coaches.

What you're doing right now is setting yourself up for a coaching session, which is valid but not free, as Ian pointed out.

Your call :)

Hello!

These type of cases are actually very common, not only for people who are going to places/practices that are specialized on PE. Feel free to PM me so I can share materials, or happy to schedule coaching around ths. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
