Understanding Business Valuation Methods
📊 Revenue Multiple Method
Values your business as a multiple of annual revenue. Industry-specific multiples reflect market standards for different business types.
Best For: Quick market-based estimates, industry comparisons, and initial valuation discussions.
💰 SDE Multiple Method
Calculates value based on Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (net profit plus owner compensation). Shows true owner benefit from the business.
Best For: Small businesses under $5M revenue, owner-operated companies, and realistic cash flow analysis.
🏢 Asset-Based Valuation
Values business based on net assets (total assets minus liabilities). Provides floor value based on tangible holdings.
Best For: Asset-heavy businesses, real estate holdings, equipment-intensive operations, and conservative estimates.
📈 EBITDA Multiple
Uses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization multiplied by industry standards. Sophisticated institutional approach.
Best For: Larger businesses over $1M revenue, private equity transactions, and corporate acquisitions.
