How We Estimate Value

We apply an industry-specific range of earnings multiples to your adjusted annual earnings. The resulting range is a starting point for a conversation, not a promised selling price.

For adjusted earnings under $1 million, we use Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), including an owner's compensation and eligible add-backs. At $1 million or more, we deduct a $150,000 market-rate manager salary and use Adjusted EBITDA multiples.

Recurring revenue, diversified customers, owner independence and growth can support higher multiples. Concentration, owner reliance, declining sales and fewer than three years of operation can reduce them. A full review also considers risks and market conditions.

Business Valuation FAQ

Is this calculator a formal business valuation?
No. It is an automated, informational estimate, not an appraisal or a broker's opinion of value. A formal review requires financial statements and an assessment of market conditions.
What is the difference between SDE and EBITDA?
SDE includes one owner's compensation and eligible add-backs. For larger businesses, this calculator estimates Adjusted EBITDA after deducting a market-rate manager salary of $150,000.
Which expenses can I add back?
Enter the owner's salary and benefits, depreciation, amortization and interest, and substantiated one-time or personal expenses included in net profit. Avoid counting any expense twice.
Is my financial information saved?
Your inputs remain in the calculator until you leave or reload the page. Only when you submit a report request are your contact details, inputs and estimate sent to Fenix Capital Partners through its CRM. This website does not store a copy.
What if my business has no positive adjusted earnings?
The calculator does not show an earnings-based range. A consultation can consider assets, intellectual property, strategic value and other factors that may be relevant.
