Estimates are for general information only and are not an appraisal, fairness opinion, or tax, legal or investment advice. Multiples reflect typical ranges for privately held lower-middle-market companies and vary by transaction.
How the calculation works
Privately held businesses in the lower middle market are usually priced as a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. The calculator starts from a typical range for your industry, then adjusts for earnings size, growth and owner involvement, the same factors buyers weigh in a sale process.
What is adjusted EBITDA?
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, normalized for one-time items and owner-specific expenses such as above-market owner pay or personal costs run through the business.
Why do larger businesses receive higher multiples?
Larger earnings streams carry less risk and attract more buyers, including private equity. Businesses under $1M of EBITDA usually trade at a discount.
How accurate is the estimate?
It is a starting point. Buyers pay for quality of earnings, recurring revenue, customer concentration, management depth and market conditions, none of which a short calculator can see.
What should I do after seeing a number?
Pressure-test it. A full valuation and sale-readiness review shows what is driving value up or down and what to fix before going to market.
