What is my business worth? Free estimate
Answer a few questions and get a rough value range in about two minutes, based on what similar businesses have actually sold for.
How the estimate works
Most small businesses sell for a multiple of their seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE): the total profit one owner-operator takes out of the business in a year.
We start from the average multiple that businesses in your industry actually sold for, then adjust it for four things buyers care about most: track record, how much the business depends on you, recurring revenue, and growth.
Working out your SDE
Start with your net profit before taxes, then add back:
- Your salary or draw as owner
- Personal perks paid by the business
- Interest, depreciation and amortization
- One-time expenses that won’t recur
Use your most recent full year. A best guess is fine for a rough estimate.
