A desk, not a mandate
Climebit exists to write clearly about business valuation methods for a UK reader. The room is in Wadebridge. The subject is national. The product is the essay, not a certificate with a ribbon.
Write to the deskWhy this is published from Cornwall
Valuation talk in the UK is unevenly distributed. A City process has advisers, a data room, and time. A fabrication shop, a guest house, a clinic, or a family company with three shareholders often meets its first serious number in a hurry: a retirement, a falling-out, a refinance, a letter from someone who would like to buy. The number arrives as a multiple. The multiple arrives without a definition.
Climebit was started so that the definitions could live somewhere public, with the arithmetic showing, and with the fictional examples labelled as fictional. Wadebridge is simply where the desk sits: 31 Fernleigh Rd, PL27 7BQ. Being outside London is useful. It is harder, from here, to confuse a workshop with a slide.
What the desk will and will not do
Clarity about the boundary is part of the writing. If a piece of work needs a regulated firm, a valuation specialist with a duty of care, or a solicitor, we will say so rather than stretch an essay until it pretends to be an instruction.
Essays and corrections
We publish method essays, answer notes that improve them, and speak plainly to students and journalists about how a model is built.
No formal opinions
Climebit does not accept instructions to value a company, does not sign certificates of value, and does not act as an expert witness.
Not FCA authorised
Nothing on this site is investment advice or a financial promotion dressed as an essay. Tax remarks are context, not a recommendation to anyone’s affairs.
Read in this order if you are new
- Market comparables, because this is the language already in the room.
- Discounted cash flow, because this is the language of a model that can be audited.
- Precedent transactions, because a buyer’s price is not a trading quote.
- Asset-based valuation, because the floor should be visible.
- Worked cases, where the four arguments share a table.
