SBA acquisition calculator

by a searcher from Full Sail University

Hi everyone, first post here, and glad to be joining the community!

I just wanted to share a calculator I built and have been using to estimate potential acquisition deals. This sheet is read-only, but you can make a copy and edit or modify for your own use if it's helpful.

My hope in sharing is twofold—first, if it's helpful to anyone, that's great! Second, many of you have much deeper experience than I. I'm seeking my first acquisition (thirdcoastsuccession.com for more) and would love any sanity checks. Do these numbers and formulas match your understanding?
