Frequently Asked Questions
Practical benefits, clear differentiation, and straight answers
Solid business valuation is about justification. Not a single secret number behind a button. Upswitch brings up to ten valuation methodologies together in one platform. You get several angles on the outcome and a full view of the calculation trail, step by step. In practice that typically yields sturdier, more defensible ranges than mainstream online tools built on one formula or a single multiple.
The Upswitch Index belongs with that: published SME sector multiples across European markets, with a per-country filter. Anchored in Benelux coverage and extended to the UK, France, DACH, the Nordics, and beyond; right next to your estimate, locally relevant, not a generic global table. Share reports with your clients as an advisor, or with your advisor as an owner. That helps you move toward a sale or exit with more confidence.
- Six methods on the free plan; Starter or Pro unlock all ten. Far broader than typical one-step online tools
- Transparent trail: every normalization and assumption stays visible
- Upswitch Index: full European SME multiples database (16 countries, 180+ business types) on paid plans; a public per-country sample on the free plan
- Optional: buyers and deal flow through the M&A marketplace
