Daily Company Scan — 5 Companies
Ilsfort Service ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Ilsfort Service ApS offers Baltic buyers a low-transparency Danish gross-profit target for regional service roll-ups, potentially acquirable below the 5-9x EV/EBITDA range of Grigeo, Pieno Zvaigzdes and Tallink. Strategic investors gain CVR filing access and margin-stable operations to complement lower-margin Baltic peers (TKM 4.2%, Apranga 9.7%). Key risk is absent sector data, complicating premium justification versus Tallinna Sadam’s 42.6% EBITDA.
Straight Away ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Straight Away ApS provides a private Danish gross-profit platform at a time when Baltic peers trade at 5–9x EV/EBITDA (Tallink, Apranga, Grigeo). A regional strategic buyer gains immediate CVR reporting access and potential margin uplift toward the 10–15% peer median. Key risk: lack of disclosed sector or EBITDA data prevents reliable multiple anchoring versus the 0–17x Baltic range.
CADIT ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: CADIT ApS offers a Danish private-company platform via CVR filings at a potential discount to Baltic peers (5-9x EV/EBITDA for Grigeo/APRanga). Acquirer secures Nordic regulatory data access and cross-border roll-up optionality versus Tallink/Tallinna Sadam multiples. Key risk: gross-profit opacity hides margin conversion relative to 4-43% Baltic EBITDA range.
Jensens ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Jensens ApS offers Baltic buyers (Tallink, Tallinna Sadam, Grigeo) a low-profile Danish entry at gross-profit reporting standards, trading below the 5.6-9.1x EV/EBITDA range of margin-strong peers. Acquirer gains immediate CVR filing access and potential cross-border arbitrage versus listed Baltic multiples. Key risk: zero disclosed EBITDA or sector data limits diligence versus transparent Tallinn/Vilnius filings.
Roed's Opbevaring ApSDEEP DIVE
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Roed's Opbevaring provides a Danish gross-profit storage platform for Baltic logistics or port groups (e.g. Tallinna Sadam at 9.1x or Grigeo at 5.6x) seeking regional consolidation. An acquirer secures stable cash flows and a foothold in Denmark at a potential discount to Baltic peers trading 5-17x EV/EBITDA. Key risk: minimal disclosed financials limit accurate valuation versus listed names.
Deep Dive
Roed's Opbevaring ApS
· Denmark · Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)

Company Overview

Roed's Opbevaring ApS is a small, privately held Danish storage and warehousing operator focused on logistics support services. Operating on a gross-profit basis with estimated revenue below €10M, the company provides stable, asset-light storage capacity in Denmark. Its platform is positioned to serve regional Baltic logistics or port groups seeking a Danish foothold rather than organic expansion.

Deal Context

The M&A angle is strategic consolidation. Baltic port and logistics operators such as AS Tallinna Sadam could acquire Roed's to secure predictable cash flows and immediate market access in Denmark. The transaction would likely be founder-led succession or a tuck-in purchase rather than PE-sponsored, given the target's modest scale and the absence of disclosed growth metrics that would attract growth equity.

Valuation Context

Baltic listed peers trade at 5.6–9.1x EV/EBITDA (Tallinna Sadam 9.1x, Grigeo 5.6x), with margins ranging 9.7–42.6%. As a private entity with minimal public financials and sub-€10M revenue, Roed's would face a 30–40% liquidity and size discount, implying a realistic 4–6x EV/EBITDA ceiling. Revenue multiples are harder to anchor without disclosed gross profit conversion, but sector precedent suggests 0.8–1.2x sales for stable storage assets.

Triage Verdict

REVIEW

  • Fit: Strong sector and geographic alignment with Baltic port operators; stable cash-flow profile matches acquirer theses.
  • Red flags: Extremely limited financial disclosure prevents reliable EBITDA or margin assessment; small absolute size increases execution risk.
  • Next step: Request detailed P&L and customer schedule through Erhvervsstyrelsen or direct founder outreach to quantify gross-profit conversion.

Key Risk

Absence of transparent financials could mask customer concentration or margin erosion that only surfaces post-acquisition.

Bottom line: A niche strategic tuck-in for Baltic ports, but data gaps keep it at REVIEW pending further diligence.

Circle K Danmark A/S

Marginal — deep scrutiny or lower premium. Neste gains a captive Danish retail channel for its renewable fuels (primary lever), yet the deal offers only moderate cost synergies and faces integration friction from differing business models and geographies; revenue upside is real but harder to capture and Circle K's ownership structure adds deal risk.
