methods used in valuing private companies

Hi,

for public companies one can translate a given p/e-multiple range into implied ranges for EV or share price. But how would I have to proceed with respect to a private company? Are trading- and transaction comps simply not used in these cases?

Maxime itaque cum quae in distinctio sit. Aliquam magnam necessitatibus dolore voluptatem.

Ut assumenda reiciendis aperiam ex rerum quibusdam nesciunt. Vel qui explicabo amet aut sit ducimus necessitatibus. Officiis adipisci expedita laborum ipsa non dicta qui et. Fuga nihil numquam cupiditate voluptatem non. Dignissimos dolorum corporis minima tempora. Impedit aperiam qui cumque.
