Why sector-specific matters

A generic multiple is not a valuation.

Applying a blended SaaS multiple to a marketplace business, or a professional-services EBITDA multiple to a FinTech, produces a number that won't survive 20 minutes of due diligence. Sector calibration is not a preference: it's the methodology.

SaaSValued on forward ARR. NRR-adjusted private-company discount. Rule-of-40 calibration.
MarketplaceTake-rate revenue basis, not GMV. Two-sided cohort retention in DCF. Thin UK peer set supplemented with EU/US.
FinTechRegulatory capital as an explicit DCF outflow. Peer-set matched by FCA regulatory status, not sector tag.
Business ServicesEBITDA-basis with key-person discount quantified. Client-concentration scenario built into DCF downside.
