How Much Is Your Business Worth If You Sold It Today?

How Much Is Your Business Worth If You Sold It Today

Most business owners have no idea what their company is worth.
They know what they earn. They know what they built.
But they don’t know what a buyer would pay for it — right now.

Let’s fix that.

Why Valuation Matters (Even If You’re Not Selling Yet)

Knowing your business’s value can change everything:

  • You make smarter decisions

  • You prepare for future exits

  • You negotiate better with partners or investors

  • You get peace of mind

And if you’re thinking of selling within the next 2 years, it’s essential to start the valuation process now.

How Buyers Typically Value a Business

Business buyers look at three main things:

1. Cash Flow (SDE or EBITDA)

This is what the business actually puts in the owner’s pocket.
More cash flow = higher value.

2. Industry Multiples

Each industry has a range — for example, a service business may sell for 2–3x SDE, while SaaS could sell for 5–7x.

3. Risk & Transferability

Can the business survive without you?
Is it well-documented? Are the customers loyal?
Low-risk, well-documented businesses always sell for more.

A Quick Example:

Let’s say your business earns:

  • $500,000 in revenue

  • $150,000 in seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE)

And it’s in a solid industry with low owner involvement.
You could potentially sell it for:

2.5x SDE = $375,000

But if it’s highly automated, has recurring revenue, or comes with assets (like trucks, equipment, or staff), it might sell for even more.
