Business Value Range Estimator

Explore an illustrative range based on selected financial metrics, business characteristics, and available market benchmarks. The method, sources, assumptions, and limitations are shown with every result.

Preliminary and educational. Not an appraisal, valuation opinion, or offer. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing you enter is transmitted or stored.

Step 1 Which is closest to your business?

Step 2 Operating business inputs (leave anything unknown blank)

Latest twelve-month revenue ($)

Total revenue for the most recent twelve months.

Reported EBITDA ($)

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as reported. May be negative.

Prior-year revenue ($)

Used only to observe growth.

Recurring or contracted revenue (%)

Share of revenue that repeats under contract or reliable reorder patterns.

Largest customer (% of revenue)

Concentration above 20% draws pricing and structural consequences.

How dependent is the business on the owner?

Management depth beneath the owner

Net debt ($)

Interest-bearing debt and debt-like items, less ordinary operating cash.

Excess cash ($)

Cash beyond what operations need, if known.

Optional: earnings normalization (add-backs and adjustments)

Identify nonrecurring expenses or income, above-market owner compensation, personal expenses run through the business, unusual professional fees, one-time startup costs, or occupancy adjustments. Each item is treated as owner-provided and unverified; buyers may accept some, all, or none.

Beyond the estimate

A range is a starting point, not an answer

A tailored review tests the add-backs, the comparables, the structure, and the buyer universe against your actual objectives.
