Register Buyer InterestMethodology
Four valuation methods, cross-referenced to your industry.
Every estimate is a preliminary range, not an appraisal — cross-referenced across methods and industry benchmarks so you can see how buyers, lenders, and advisors typically frame value.
Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE)
Best for owner-operated small businesses. Adds back owner compensation, non-recurring expenses, and personal add-backs, then applies an industry multiple.
Adjusted EBITDA
Best for larger and manager-run businesses. Normalizes earnings and applies an EBITDA multiple appropriate to industry, size, and growth.
Revenue Multiple
Used as a cross-check for high-growth or asset-light businesses where earnings alone do not fully reflect market value.
Asset-Based
Used for asset-heavy operations (equipment, inventory, real estate) and as a valuation floor when earnings are volatile.
Connected to Recover · Prepare · Fund
Improving cash flow today directly increases your business value.
Buyers, lenders, and appraisers value stable, well-documented cash flow more than promises. Every dollar of recovered monthly cash flow, every point of margin improvement, and every step toward funding readiness typically translates into a measurable increase in valuation.
