This is a rough, illustrative estimate using general multiple ranges — not a valuation. Real value depends on your specific financials, risk profile, lease, and current buyer demand.

How to read your estimate

This calculator multiplies your normalized earnings by a general range for your sector, then narrows that range based on the strength of the business. It mirrors how buyers think — but it can't see your actual financials, your lease, your customer mix, or what buyers are paying in your market right now.

Treat the number as a conversation starter, not an asking price. The gap between the low and high end is exactly where preparation pays off: reducing owner dependence, cleaning up financials, and growing recurring revenue can move a real business from the bottom of its range toward the top.

When you're ready for a number you can actually defend to a buyer, lender, or accountant, that's what a proper valuation is for.
