Default determining beta values for private companies

I'm writing a business plan and would like to determine the beta values for similar companies. The problem is that almost all are private. Should I just use the beta values of the nearest public companies, or is there a way to estimate beta for private companies? Could I use their history of previous valuations and compare this to the market, for example?
