Three Valuation Methods Explained

1. Revenue Multiple — Multiplies annual revenue by an industry-specific factor. Best for high-growth companies or businesses with negative EBITDA. Easy to calculate but ignores profitability.

2. EBITDA Multiple — The most widely used method in private M&A. Multiplies earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization by a sector multiple. Reflects true operating profitability independent of financing decisions.

3. P/E Earnings Method — Multiplies net income by the price-to-earnings ratio of comparable public companies. Best for mature, consistently profitable businesses in established industries.

What Determines Your Multiple?

Growth rate — 20%+ YoY growth can double your multiple
Revenue quality — Recurring/subscription revenue commands premium
Customer concentration — One client >30% revenue hurts valuation
EBITDA margin — 20%+ is the threshold for premium buyers
Management depth — Owner-dependent = discount
Market conditions — Interest rates and M&A activity affect all multiples
Proprietary IP — Patents, trademarks, and technology add premium

Frequently Asked Questions

What is business valuation?

Business valuation is the process of determining the economic value of a company. It is used in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), fundraising, partner buyouts, estate planning, and legal disputes. The result is a market value estimate — what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller.

Which valuation method is most accurate?

No single method is definitively "most accurate." The EBITDA multiple method is most commonly used in private M&A for profitable businesses. Revenue multiples are preferred for high-growth or pre-profit companies. Using all three methods and comparing the range gives the most defensible estimate.

What EBITDA multiple is typical for small businesses?

Main Street businesses (under $2M revenue) typically sell at 2–4x SDE or EBITDA. Lower-middle-market companies ($2M–$10M revenue) sell at 4–7x EBITDA. Mid-market ($10M–$100M) commands 7–12x. Technology and recurring revenue businesses often achieve significantly higher multiples.

Does this calculator give an exact price for my business?

No — this calculator provides an estimate based on market multiples. Actual transaction prices depend on negotiation, due diligence findings, deal structure (cash vs. earnout), seller financing, strategic value to the buyer, and current market conditions. For a binding valuation, engage a certified business appraiser (CBA or ABV) or M&A advisor.

How can I increase my business's valuation?

Key value-building strategies: (1) increase recurring/subscription revenue, (2) improve EBITDA margins above 20%, (3) reduce customer concentration below 15% per client, (4) build a management team that doesn't depend on the owner, (5) document all processes and systems, (6) grow revenue consistently 15%+ per year, (7) protect IP with patents or trademarks.

What is the difference between enterprise value and equity value?

Enterprise Value (EV) is what this calculator estimates — the total value of the business including debt. Equity Value = Enterprise Value minus net debt (debt minus cash). Buyers typically offer EV-based prices; the seller's actual proceeds depend on what debt is paid off at closing.
