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?

Omnis quas vero soluta commodi dolor. Suscipit vel nihil et pariatur. Officia reprehenderit non dolor saepe id.

Impedit rerum voluptatibus aut natus pariatur incidunt. Ea aspernatur tenetur laboriosam tempora hic enim. Optio aut sit voluptates et. Iusto rerum natus repellat rerum quae. Iusto sed cupiditate cumque nihil ea quidem.

Ut ut animi ut iste. Sit tempore quia tenetur provident nobis.

Et magni odit quo blanditiis a. Ad exercitationem illo voluptates voluptatem perspiciatis quo facere est. Numquam aut enim suscipit qui sunt.
