We built a free Business Valuation Tool based on real world transaction data, so you can start with what’s actually happening in the market. You can check it out here: https://tinyurl.com/583dyrht It draws on 20,000+ SMB deals to give you a baseline valuation using: - Revenue and EBITDA - Industry - Geography The model is transparent, so you can see how much each of these factors contribute to the overall multiple. From there, you can adjust for important qualitative factors: customer concentration, owner involvement, growth potential, etc. and see how they impact value. If you're a buyer, seller, broker, or investor, it’s a quick way to gut-check a valuation before spending too much time underwriting it.

I liked it. Any reason why you built it and then giving it out for free?

Thank you. We initially built it for ourselves to evaluate deals. We realized it was only a tiny amount of effort to make it public on our website.
