See what your business is worth — and what it could be

Tell us your industry, area, and earnings, then rate your business across the 7 key areas. In under two minutes you'll see an estimated value range for a business like yours — and how much of the gap to a premium price is within your control.

Value = Earnings × Multiple. Your industry sets the starting range — your readiness moves you within it. A 2x business and a 4x business differ by risk, not revenue.
Estimates use industry multiples from the BizBuySell 2025 Insight Report (SDE, 9,500+ closed small-business sales) and GF Data 2025 (EBITDA, lower-middle-market deals), adjusted for your size, readiness, and quality factors. It's an estimate to start the conversation — when a formal valuation is needed, we bring in a certified specialist from our network.
Step 1 · About your business
Pick the one closest to how you make money — it sets your typical value range.
Bigger markets bring more buyers — we adjust modestly for market size.

Enter whichever you know — or both, for a cross-checked estimate.

Not sure which to use? →

SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) — your net profit plus your owner salary, perks, interest, taxes, and depreciation added back. Best for owner-operated businesses.

EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization, without adding back a market-rate salary for your role. Buyers use this for larger businesses (roughly $1M+ in earnings).

Enter one, or both — a rough figure is fine for a starting estimate.

Step 2 · Rate your readiness

Rate each area from 1 (needs work) to 10 (strong). This is what moves your multiple — clean financials and a team that runs without you count most.

Financials & Books
Clean, current numbers that show your true earnings. Could a buyer's CPA trust your books without rebuilding them?
5
Business Plan
A simple, written plan for where the business is going. Could your key people tell you the top three priorities this year?
5
Team & Roles
Owner dependency — the right people in clear roles, each with a backup. Could the business run without you for two weeks?
5
Pricing & Margins
Knowing which work makes money — and pricing for it. Do you know your margin by job, product, or customer, or just overall?
5
Scorecard
A handful of key numbers, reviewed every week. Would you know by Friday if this week went badly — or find out at year-end?
5
Meeting Rhythm
A light, predictable meeting rhythm that keeps the team aligned. Do problems surface in a weekly meeting, or when they reach your desk?
5
Processes
How the work gets done is written down and followed. If your best employee quit tomorrow, is their job documented anywhere?

Check any that apply — these are what push a business toward the top of its range.
