Business Value Estimate

A quick, rough range for what buyers might pay for a business like yours, based on a few numbers you already know. It is an estimate only.

Your business

Type of business

Yearly sales

Enter your SDE, your EBITDA, or both. One is required.

SDE

SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings) is pre-tax profit plus your own pay, benefits, personal perks run through the business, interest, depreciation and one-time costs. Most owner-run businesses are priced on it.

EBITDA

EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, after paying a manager to run the business. Larger businesses with a management team are often priced on it.

Your estimate is saved to your account and shared with Michael R Garsow so he can follow up. It is never sold.

This is a rough estimate for planning only. It is not a valuation or appraisal and should not be relied on for tax, legal, lending or pricing decisions. For a formal opinion of value, I can introduce you to trusted professionals who have helped my clients.
