How the estimate works
Most private companies in the lower middle market are valued on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA — earnings normalized for one-time and owner-specific items. This tool pulls the range of enterprise-value-to-EBITDA multiples from real, publicly sourced comparable transactions in your sector and applies it to the figures you enter. When you provide revenue only, it falls back to a rougher revenue multiple. It is deliberately conservative and clearly an educational estimate — the real number comes from financial due diligence and a competitive process.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is this business valuation calculator?
- It gives a directional educational range, not an appraisal. It applies typical EBITDA (or revenue) multiples from real, sourced comparable transactions in your sector to the figures you enter. A real valuation depends on your quality of earnings, growth, customer concentration, and buyer competition — which a prepared process establishes.
- What multiple is my business worth?
- Most lower-middle-market companies trade on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA, commonly in the low-single to high-single digits depending on sector, size, growth, and margins. Recurring revenue, low customer concentration, and clean financials push the multiple up. The calculator shows a sector-specific range.
- Do I need EBITDA to use it?
- No — revenue alone gives a rough range. But entering adjusted EBITDA (earnings normalized for one-time and owner-specific items) produces a sharper estimate, because most buyers price lower-middle-market businesses on an EBITDA multiple rather than revenue.
- Is this an appraisal or an offer?
- No. It is an educational estimate generated from public comparable-transaction data and standard methods. It is not an appraisal, a fairness opinion, or an offer, and it does not predict the price a specific buyer will pay. Consult your own advisors before making decisions.
