Businesses that collect, sort or process waste usually operate under environmental approvals and registrations with the Danish authorities. Approvals may be tied to a specific address, facility or company. Check which permits exist, what they cover, and whether they transfer with a purchase or must be applied for again. Ask for the latest inspection reports from the municipality or other authorities.

Site, facilities and environmental liabilityIf the business owns the site or facilities, investigate contamination and environmental conditions thoroughly.Guide

If the business owns the site or facilities, investigate contamination and environmental conditions thoroughly. A clean-up obligation can become a major cost, and in a share purchase those liabilities come with the company. Commission an environmental survey, and agree in the purchase agreement who is liable for conditions dating from before the takeover. Review machinery, containers and vehicles with age and maintenance history.

Contracts and pricesIncome often comes from contracts with businesses and municipalities and from selling sorted materials.Finance

Income often comes from contracts with businesses and municipalities and from selling sorted materials. Prices for recycled raw materials can swing sharply, so ask for figures over several years and see how much of the profit depends on material prices. Review contract terms, and whether contracts were won in public tenders that must be won again.

Price and key figuresSitavo’s indicative range for the category is 3–6 times profit (EBITDA), cross-checked against 0.5–1.5 times revenue.Finance

Sitavo’s indicative range for the category is 3–6 times profit (EBITDA), cross-checked against 0.5–1.5 times revenue. Long contracts and permits that are hard to obtain push the price up. Unresolved environmental issues pull it down.
