How this valuation is worked out
EBITDA — earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation — is the standard basis for businesses above roughly $1M in profit. The multiple applied depends on the industry, the size of the earnings, and how durable those earnings look to a buyer.
A worked example
EBITDA of $600K in a category trading at 4–6× gives $2.4M–$3.6M. A business at that size with contracted revenue and a management team in place typically lands in the upper half; heavy customer concentration pulls it to the bottom.
Multiple ranges reviewed September 2026, based on offers buyers in our network are making today. They are a guide, not a quote — see how the process works.
What moves your number
- Size — bigger EBITDA attracts a higher multiple from larger buyers
- Growth trend across the last three years
- Margin stability compared with others in the sector
- Contracted revenue and low customer churn

Common questions
Which multiple applies to me?
It varies by industry — home services run roughly 3.5 to 7 times, healthcare 4 to 7.5, hospitality 1.8 to 3.5. The calculator applies your category's range.
Should I use EBITDA or SDE?
Use SDE if you draw a working salary and the business is owner-operated; use EBITDA once there is a management team in place.
Does debt affect the number?
The multiple gives enterprise value. What you receive is that figure less any debt the buyer takes on.
