RH Service Team APS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: RH Service Team APS provides a private Danish services platform with gross-profit reporting that Baltic strategic buyers could bolt onto lower-margin peers (e.g., TKM Grupp 15.1x or Apranga 8.6x) to lift group EBITDA. An acquirer gains immediate Nordic access and a clean CVR footprint for cross-border consolidation. Key risk is opaque financials that limit diligence and could mask working-capital or customer concentration issues.
Grundtvig Ejendomme A/S
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Grundtvig Ejendomme A/S offers a private Danish property portfolio on gross-profit basis, available at an undisclosed price that could sit below Baltic peers trading at 5.4-15.1x EV/EBITDA. A strategic buyer gains stable real-estate cash flows and a low-risk foothold for Nordic-Baltic expansion. Key risk is thin sector overlap with listed assets like Tallinna Sadam or Grigeo, complicating valuation.
Skagen Clothing ApSDEEP DIVE
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Skagen Clothing ApS offers Baltic retailers (Apranga 8.6x, TKM 15.1x) a Danish apparel foothold via undisclosed gross-profit metrics for immediate cross-border scale. Acquirer captures private CVR cash-flow visibility to lift EBITDA margins above the 4.9-9.7% peer range. Key risk is fashion cyclicality, shown by SFG’s negative multiple.
Astrak Denmark A/S
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Astrak Denmark A/S provides Baltic strategics (retail, logistics, consumer) a low-visibility Danish bolt-on at a likely discount to peers’ 5.4-15.1x EV/EBITDA. An acquirer secures immediate EU-market access and gross-profit cash flows without public-market scrutiny. Main risk is sparse CVR disclosure, limiting EBITDA quality assessment versus Baltic margins of 4.9-44.7%.
Way Service ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (revenue basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Way Service ApS provides a private Danish revenue platform for Baltic operators seeking Nordic expansion, with entry possible below listed peers at 5.4-15.1x EV/EBITDA. An acquirer gains immediate CVR-verified cash flows and a low-multiple bolt-on to ferry, logistics or service assets like Tallink or Tallinna Sadam. Key risk is limited disclosure on margins and sector fit versus the Baltic basket.
Deep Dive
Skagen Clothing ApS
· Denmark · Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)

Company Overview

Skagen Clothing ApS is a small private Danish apparel business reporting on a gross-profit basis via Erhvervsstyrelsen filings. With revenue estimated below €10 m, the company functions as a niche clothing wholesaler or retailer supplying the domestic market. Operations are concentrated in Denmark, giving it a compact but established local footprint in a sector dominated by larger Nordic and Baltic players.

Deal Context

The transaction profile points to a strategic bolt-on rather than PE or growth-equity interest. Listed Baltic retailers Apranga and TKM Grupp already operate apparel formats and would gain immediate Danish exposure plus CVR-level cash-flow visibility. An acquisition would allow them to lift group EBITDA margins above the current 4.9–9.7 % peer band through cross-border scale while remaining below their own trading multiples.

Valuation Context

Baltic apparel and retail peers trade at 8.6–15.1× EV/EBITDA. A private company of this size and opacity warrants a 35–50 % discount, implying a realistic 4.5–8× EBITDA or 0.6–1.0× revenue multiple. Because only gross-profit data is public, any buyer would need to normalise for operating costs before applying these benchmarks; the resulting entry price would still sit well below listed Baltic apparel multiples.

Triage Verdict

GO

  • Fit: Direct sector and geography match for Apranga or TKM seeking Nordic bolt-ons at a clear discount to 8.6–15.1× peers.
  • Red flags: Minimal public financial granularity and exposure to fashion cyclicality limit standalone visibility.
  • Next step: Approach the founder or controlling shareholder through Danish corporate advisors to request a data-room review.

Key Risk

Fashion-cycle downturns could compress gross margins faster than the acquirer can realise cross-border synergies.

Bottom line: modest strategic tuck-in priced at a private discount to Baltic apparel multiples.
