What's my business worth?

Buyers price your business on a multiple of what it earns for its owner. This calculator recasts your profit into Seller's Discretionary Earnings, then prices it against real completed transactions in your NAICS industry. Six questions about how the business actually runs decide where in that transaction distribution you land.

How we got there

    Valuation methods

    Each bar is one percentile of actual completed transactions. Gold marks your position.

    Estimated cash to you at closing: — before taxes and fees, after paying off the debt you entered. Deal structure — earnouts, seller notes, escrow, and the working capital peg — moves this number more than most owners expect.

    Asset floor: comparable sellers in your industry carried about — of FF&E and inventory at your percentile. A going concern should comfortably clear that.

    Pulling you up the distribution

      Pulling you down

        The spread between the low and high end of your range is —. That gap is not market luck. It is the difference between a business that is ready for diligence and one that is not, and most of it is still inside your control.

        Want the full breakdown?

        We’ll send a written opinion-of-value summary showing the recast, the comps behind your multiple, and the two or three moves that would most raise your number. Adam reviews every one personally.

        Confidential. We never share your numbers, and there is no listing agreement attached to this.

        This estimate applies percentile multiples from BVR’s comparable-transaction database to the figures you entered, positioned by your answers about the business. It is directional and is not a formal appraisal or a broker’s opinion of value. Comparable transaction data reflects businesses that actually sold, and the sample size varies by industry — smaller samples mean wider real-world variance than the chart suggests. A defensible valuation requires a review of your financial statements, tax returns, customer detail, contracts, and balance sheet. Do not use this output for tax filings, litigation, SBA financing, or estate purposes.
