Business Value & Exit Readiness Calculator
Build a transparent preliminary business-value range using normalized earnings, income, market, and asset approaches, then identify the factors that may improve transferability.
Plain-language guide
What might my business be worth—and what should I strengthen before an exit?
How this estimate works
The calculator normalizes entered EBITDA, compares capitalization-of-cash-flow and five-year discounted-cash-flow indications, applies user-entered market multiples and adjusted net assets, then reconciles the approaches using visible weights. Debt, excess cash, and ownership convert enterprise value to an illustrative owner-equity range.
Important: This is an educational estimate, not individualized financial, investment, tax, legal, insurance, or business-valuation advice.
Common questions
- Is this a certified business valuation?
- No. It is an owner-planning estimate, not a conclusion of value, calculation engagement, appraisal, fairness opinion, tax opinion, or transaction advice.
- How are earnings normalized?
- The bridge adjusts reported EBITDA for owner compensation above or below market replacement cost, discretionary expenses, nonrecurring items, and an entered related-party adjustment.
- Why use more than one valuation approach?
- Income, market, and asset approaches answer different questions. Comparing and visibly reconciling them helps expose which assumptions drive the range instead of hiding the answer inside one multiple.
