What could your business be worth?

Enter a few details below to estimate your company’s value using adjusted EBITDA, company risk factors, and a valuation multiple.

How the estimate works

Adjusted EBITDA × Valuation Multiple = Estimated Business Value

First, we normalize profit by subtracting unpaid owner salary and adding back reasonable discretionary or one-time expenses. Then we apply a valuation multiple based on industry, EBITDA size, recurring revenue, customer concentration, growth, and founder reliance.

Your total annual gross revenue before expenses. Use your most recent full-year revenue or trailing 12 months.
EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. For smaller businesses, this is often similar to owner benefit or operating profit.
Enter the owner’s annual salary only if it is NOT already included in payroll expenses. This amount will be subtracted from profit to normalize earnings for valuation purposes.
Common add-backs include personal travel, personal vehicle expenses, cell phone bills, one-time legal expenses, excess owner salary, or other non-essential discretionary expenses run through the business.
Different industries trade at different EBITDA multiples based on risk, scalability, margins, and buyer demand.
Growing companies typically receive higher valuation multiples than declining businesses.
Recurring revenue includes retainers, subscriptions, contracts, maintenance agreements, or repeat billing that buyers see as predictable and stable.
If one customer represents a large percentage of revenue, buyers view the business as riskier. Diversified customer bases usually increase value.
Buyers pay higher multiples for businesses that operate without the founder being personally responsible for sales, marketing, and client relationships. Documented systems, inbound lead generation, CRM workflows, and team-driven sales processes reduce risk and increase scalability.
