The valuation challenge

Unreliable multiples lead to unreliable valuations

Your valuation is only as good as your comparable transactions. Yet most deal teams spend more time hunting for reliable multiples than actually analyzing them — and still end up with incomplete or inconsistent data.

Private deal multiples are nearly impossible to find through traditional sources
Broad industry codes return comps that aren't actually comparable to your target
Manual multiples calculation from raw financials is error-prone and time-consuming

How Comparables.ai solves M&A data challenges

Real problems we solve for deal teams every day

Challenge

Ensure Multiples Are Truly Comparable

Generic search by SIC code returns a grab-bag of transactions: different business models, revenue profiles, and growth stages all lumped together. Using these multiples introduces noise into your valuation range.

Solution

AI-powered matching goes beyond industry codes to compare actual business characteristics. The comparable transactions you get back genuinely resemble your target — so the resulting multiples are meaningful, not misleading.

Challenge

Get Multiples for Private Transactions

Most private M&A deals don't disclose financial terms publicly. If your valuation only uses public deal multiples, you're working with a skewed sample that doesn't reflect the full market.

Solution

Access pre-calculated multiples for private transactions powered by FactSet — the same data that major investment banks rely on. Fill the gap in your comp sets with private deal evidence from 10+ years of history.

Challenge

Eliminate Inconsistent Multiples Calculations

When you pull multiples from different sources, each uses different calculation methodologies, different fiscal year assumptions, and different adjustments. Cross-referencing and reconciling eats hours.

Solution

Every multiple on our platform uses a consistent, standardized methodology. EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E, and Price/Book are all calculated the same way — so your comp set is internally consistent from the start.

Challenge

Present Defensible Valuations, Not Guesswork

When your investment committee challenges your valuation, you need more than 'comparable deals suggest a 6-8x range.' You need to show exactly which deals, why they're comparable, and how you arrived at your range.

Solution

Export complete transaction detail — deal size, multiples, buyer/seller profiles, dates, and deal type — directly into your valuation models. Every data point is sourced and auditable.
