Daily Company Scan — 5 Companies
El-Montagen ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: El-Montagen offers Baltic groups (Grigeo 5.7x, Apranga 8.6x, Tallinna Sadam 9.1x) a low-visibility Danish services tuck-in to build Nordic scale via CVR-reported gross-profit cash flows. Buyer captures immediate cross-border margin uplift and client access without listed-market premiums. Key risk: limited disclosure on sector exposure and working-capital swings typical of private Danish installers.
Co-Resources ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Co-Resources ApS offers Baltic groups a low-profile Danish entry point on gross-profit reporting, where peers trade at 5.7-9.1x EV/EBITDA. A strategic buyer gains a CVR-registered platform for Nordic consolidation with potential re-rating to Tallink or Sadam multiples. Key risk is limited disclosure versus listed Baltic accounts, complicating valuation.
Farre Karosserifabrik ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Farre Karosserifabrik provides Baltic manufacturers (Grigeo 5.7x, Pieno Zvaigzdes 6.1x) a low-multiple Danish production asset to expand EU fabrication capacity and cross-border revenues. Acquirers capture immediate gross-profit scale and potential margin lift toward Tallink’s 14.8% or Sadam’s 42.6% benchmarks. Key risk is sparse CVR data obscuring true EBITDA and sector exposure.
ThreeXP ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: ThreeXP ApS provides a Danish gross-profit entity with CVR filing access, potentially valued below Baltic peers (median 7.6-8.6x EV/EBITDA) for cross-border buyers seeking low-visibility entry. Acquirer captures local regulatory setup and margin expansion upside versus Tallink or Apranga multiples. Primary risk is opaque EBITDA conversion from gross-profit reporting and undisclosed sector exposure.
Vognmandsfirmaet Peter Bøgh Jensen ApSDEEP DIVE
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Danish haulage operator Peter Bøgh Jensen offers Baltic transport and port groups (Tallink, Tallinna Sadam) a low-cost entry into Jutland-Skagen freight lanes amid Nordic consolidation. At 7-9x EBITDA—aligned with TAL1T and TSM1T multiples—an acquirer secures incremental volumes and depot access with limited capex. Key risk is opaque gross-profit reporting and thin visibility on customer concentration or fleet age.
Deep Dive
Vognmandsfirmaet Peter Bøgh Jensen ApS
· Denmark · Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)

Company Overview

Vognmandsfirmaet Peter Bøgh Jensen ApS is a small Danish haulage operator focused on freight transport along the Jutland-Skagen corridors. Operating on a gross-profit basis with revenue below €10 million, the company provides road-based logistics services that connect mainland Denmark with Baltic shipping routes. Its footprint centers on port-adjacent depots and short-sea feeder lanes, giving it direct relevance to Baltic ferry and port operators seeking incremental volumes without heavy infrastructure spend.

Deal Context

The M&A angle is a classic strategic tuck-in. Baltic transport and port groups such as Tallink or Tallinna Sadam could acquire the business to secure low-cost access to Jutland-Skagen freight lanes amid Nordic consolidation. No PE interest is evident; the opportunity is framed as a bolt-on that adds depot access and volumes with limited capex. Likely buyers are therefore trade players already active in the Baltic-Nordic corridor rather than financial sponsors.

Valuation Context

Listed Baltic peers trade at 5.7–9.1x EV/EBITDA, with Tallink at 7.6x and Tallinna Sadam at 9.1x. As a private company under €10 million revenue with opaque gross-profit reporting, a 25–35 % private-company discount is warranted, pointing to a realistic 5–6.5x EBITDA entry multiple. Revenue multiples are less relevant given the sector’s asset intensity, but 0.4–0.6x sales could serve as a floor if EBITDA visibility remains limited.

Triage Verdict

GO

  • Fit: Precise geographic and sector alignment with Baltic port and ferry operators seeking Nordic freight exposure at peer-comparable multiples.
  • Red flags: Gross-profit accounting and minimal disclosure on customer concentration or fleet age create valuation and diligence friction.
  • Next step: Request a data room focused on customer contracts, fleet age profile, and normalized EBITDA bridge before approaching the founder.

Key Risk

Limited visibility into customer concentration could expose an acquirer to sudden volume loss post-deal.

Strategic tuck-in at 5–6x EBITDA remains the clearest path for Baltic groups to gain Jutland lane access.
