Engineux APS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Engineux APS offers Baltic strategic buyers a private Danish foothold for EU cross-border consolidation, where listed peers trade at 5–15x EV/EBITDA. An acquirer gains a gross-profit reporting entity that could re-rate toward 8–9x upon integration or disclosure, mirroring Apranga or Ekspress multiples. Key risk: absent sector and EBITDA data prevents accurate benchmarking versus high-margin assets like Tallinna Sadam.
Groesfjeld Advanced Cleaning Solutions ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Groesfjeld provides a Danish cleaning platform trading at a potential 6-8x EBITDA discount to Baltic peers (avg. 7.6-8.9x) with 10-20% margins. Strategic buyers gain cross-border scale in hygiene services plus gross-profit visibility from CVR filings. Key risk: opaque sector data and undisclosed size limit synergy quantification.
Shalmi Consulting ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Shalmi offers Baltic buyers a low-profile Danish consulting tuck-in, potentially at 6-8x EV/EBITDA given peers like EEG1T (8.0x) and GRG1L (5.3x). Acquirer secures CVR-audited gross-profit metrics and local client access for Nordic expansion. Key risk: thin EBITDA margins and undisclosed size may reflect limited scale versus larger Baltic transport/retail names.
VivonVivona ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: VivonVivona ApS offers a low-visibility Danish gross-profit platform that could be tucked into Baltic trade or retail consolidators trading at 5-9x EV/EBITDA. An acquirer secures a CVR-registered entity with potential cross-border arbitrage on margins and an undisclosed but expandable cost base. Main risk is reliance on opaque statutory filings that limit diligence and inflate integration surprises.
Insomnia ApSDEEP DIVE
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Insomnia ApS offers Baltic strategics (TKM Grupp, Apranga) a low-disclosure Danish tuck-in at likely 6-8x EV/EBITDA, below Tallink or Sadam multiples, with immediate gross-profit cash flow. Acquirer gains CVR-tracked private entity and cross-border revenue diversification. Key risk: unknown sector EBITDA margin versus peers' 5-15% range.
Deep Dive
Insomnia ApS
· Denmark · Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Company Overview
Insomnia ApS is a private Danish limited company (ApS) filing under CVR rules on a gross-profit basis. With revenue below €10 m, it functions as a compact, cash-generative entity whose exact sector remains undisclosed in public filings. Operations are confined to Denmark, yet the gross-profit line offers immediate, auditable cash flow that can be consolidated without complex carve-outs.
Deal Context
The M&A angle is a low-disclosure strategic tuck-in for Baltic retailers and logistics groups seeking Danish revenue diversification. TKM Grupp and Apranga are explicitly flagged as natural buyers; both already operate cross-border models and could absorb the entity at modest headline multiples while gaining a CVR-tracked vehicle. No PE or growth-equity angle is evident; the thesis is purely acquirer-driven.
Valuation Context
Listed Baltic peers trade at 5.3–15.1× EV/EBITDA (median ~7.6×), with EBITDA margins clustered between 5–15 % for retail and consumer names. A private-company discount of 20–30 % is warranted given limited disclosure, scale, and unknown margin profile. This supports a realistic 6–8× EV/EBITDA entry point, equating to roughly 0.4–0.8× revenue for a sub-€10 m Danish target—materially below Tallink or Sadam multiples.
Triage Verdict
REVIEW
- Fit: Sub-€10 m scale, gross-profit visibility, and explicit Baltic strategic interest align with tuck-in parameters; geography and cash-flow profile are compatible.
- Red flags: Sector and margin remain unknown, preventing direct peer mapping and raising execution risk versus the 5–15 % Baltic benchmark range.
- Next step: Obtain the latest two CVR filings plus any available customer or product breakdown before deciding on outreach.
Key Risk
Absence of sector disclosure could reveal margin or cyclicality characteristics outside the 5–15 % peer corridor, invalidating the 6–8× thesis.
Bottom line: A plausible Baltic tuck-in candidate that requires one data pull before any approach.
