Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
How long does it take to value a Belgian SME?
▾
With Deal Metrics, expect about 30 minutes: auto-import from BNB (or CSV upload), EBITDA adjustment, choice of NACE sector multiple, net debt calculation. You get an Equity Value with a ready-to-share PDF report.
What's the difference with Graydon or Companyweb?
▾
Deal Metrics combines valuation, M&A structuring and a marketplace in a single tool — while Graydon/Companyweb are limited to credit scoring and a company database. Our credit score (Altman Z-score + 9 ratios) covers 80% of their use case at a fraction of the price.
How does the M&A marketplace work?
▾
Entrepreneurs publish an anonymized teaser from their project (revenue, EBITDA, sector, region, price range). Buyers can request an NDA to access the full deck.
Is my data isolated from other firms?
▾
Yes. Strict Row-Level Security (FORCE RLS Postgres) on 13+ sensitive tables. Each firm has its own tenant with an organization_id that filters every query at the database level. EU hosting (Supabase / Frankfurt).
Which accounting formats are supported?
▾
Manual import uses CSV format (accounting exports from Bob, Sage, Octopus, Yuki, etc., or a CSV export from consult.cbso.nbb.be). The PCMN parser automatically detects the layout — code-only, multi-year label, label-only. BNB accounts can also be fetched automatically from the company registration number.
Strict multi-tenancy, Postgres RLS
Each organization is isolated via Supabase/Postgres Row-Level Security. No risk of cross-firm data leaks. FORCE RLS enabled on 13+ sensitive tables.
