How a Business Gets Valued.

Most businesses are worth a multiple of their earnings after add-backs. The multiple depends on your industry, the consistency of those earnings, and how easily the business transfers to a new owner.

Value is not what you've put into the business, and it's not a guess. Buyers and appraisers start with your earnings after add-backs, multiply by a market multiple for your industry and size, and adjust from there based on the quality of what a buyer is getting.

Add-backs

Your salary, benefits, and one-time or personal expenses, added back to profit to show the business's true earning power.

SDE

Seller's Discretionary Earnings: the total financial benefit the business provides to one owner-operator. The standard measure for owner-run businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, after adjustments. The measure buyers use for larger, management-run businesses.

Why Owners Get a Valuation Before They're "Ready."

Whether a sale is next year or five years out, understanding what your business is worth changes what you do next. It tells you whether your exit goals are realistic, shows you what's driving value up or down, and gives you a baseline to build on. The best outcomes come when an owner starts one to two years before they want to exit, and every plan starts with knowing where you stand today.
