Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate the value of a small business?
The most common methods are earnings multiples (applying a multiplier to your annual profit or EBITDA), revenue multiples (multiplier on annual revenue, common for high-growth companies), and discounted cash flow (projecting future cash flows and discounting them to present value). This calculator uses all three for a complete picture.
What multiple should I use for my business?
It depends on your industry, growth rate, and profitability. SaaS businesses typically trade at 5-15x revenue; service businesses at 2-4x earnings; retail at 1-3x earnings. This calculator applies the right range based on your industry selection.
Is a free business valuation accurate?
A free calculator gives you a credible estimate based on standard valuation methods. For a formal transaction (sale, investment, legal dispute), you'll want a professional appraisal — but this tool gets you 80% of the way there and helps you know if a professional number is in the right ballpark.
What is the difference between DCF and revenue multiples?
DCF (discounted cash flow) projects your future earnings and discounts them to today's value — it's forward-looking. Revenue multiples apply a market-based multiplier to your current revenue — it's simpler and based on what similar companies sell for. Both are valid; they answer slightly different questions.
