How the public-data value estimate works
Firmwatch estimates company value from public filing data, primarily the visible balance sheet. Where net assets are disclosed, the model uses that as the core reference point and shows a range rather than one precise number.
The confidence level depends on how much supporting data is available. A filing with net assets, working capital and current-asset detail gives a stronger public-data signal than a filing with only a narrow balance-sheet disclosure.
Private information can materially change a real valuation. Contracts, debts, asset quality, goodwill, tax position, cash-flow forecasts and buyer demand are not visible in public Companies House accounts.
