Business Valuation Estimate

FAQs

A business valuation is a professional estimate of what your company is worth today. It’s important because your business is likely your largest asset and a valuation gives you clarity for exit planning, financing, or even succession.
Ideally, once a year. Market conditions, financial performance, and industry changes can all impact your valuation.
Rules of thumb use a simple revenue or earnings multiple, but they often miss the unique drivers of your business. A professional valuation digs into financials, assets, risks, and growth potential for a more accurate number.

SDE is the total financial benefit a business owner gets from the business, including profit, salary, perks, and discretionary expenses. It’s often the foundation for valuing small businesses because it shows the true cash flow available to a buyer.

You add back expenses such as your salary, health insurance, auto expenses, or other personal benefits to the net income. This gives a clearer picture of the company’s profitability for a new owner.

Owner’s salary, one-time expenses, family member wages not required by the business, personal travel, and discretionary perks are commonly added back.
