How much is your business actually worth — to a buyer?

Before you go to market, know your number. Screen your company’s indicative enterprise value in minutes — a sell-side range built on the multiples buyers actually underwrite, not a single headline figure.

  • Anchored to your sector’s realistic SME multiple range — EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to earnings), SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings, for owner-run firms), or ARR (annual recurring revenue, for software) — then adjusted for growth, margins, leverage, and scale.
  • The output is an indicative range in USD — enterprise value and the equity that would reach the owner after net debt — to sharpen the next decision, not to replace live advisory judgment.

Method note

How to read the output.

The calculator anchors to your sector’s realistic SME multiple range, positions your business within it using the factors that move value in practice — growth, margins, demand visibility, scale, leverage, capital intensity — then bridges enterprise value to equity after net debt. Ranges are global SME benchmarks with a size and illiquidity discount applied; GCC/MENA conditions are confirmed in a live review.

  • An indicative range — never a single point number
  • Enterprise value and equity to the owner shown separately
  • Built for screening and deal preparation, not compliance or audit

A valuation isn’t a deal.

A number is only the starting point. Deal-Ready gets your financials, equity story, and data room buyer-defensible — before a buyer’s diligence finds the gaps and reprices you.

Business valuation calculator — FAQ

How does the business valuation calculator work?

You answer fifteen short questions about your sector, earnings, growth, margins and balance sheet. The tool anchors to your sector's realistic SME multiple band, positions you within it on the factors buyers actually price — growth, margins, demand visibility, scale and leverage — then converts enterprise value into the equity that would reach you after net debt. The output is an indicative range, never a single point number.

Is the valuation calculator free?

Yes — it is free and there is no obligation. We ask for your name and email so we can share context on the range and a practical next step; we don't publish or sell your details.

How accurate is an online business valuation?

Treat it as a directional screen, not a price. It is generated from the limited information you enter and from general market data for comparable companies — useful for knowing roughly where you stand before you go to market. What a business actually sells for depends on full diligence, the specific facts of your business, and what a real buyer will pay.

What is the difference between enterprise value and equity to the owner?

Enterprise value is what the business is worth as an operating asset. Equity to the owner is what you actually walk away with: enterprise value minus debt and debt-like items (shareholder loans, end-of-service liabilities, overdue payables), plus genuinely surplus cash, adjusted for working capital at completion. The calculator shows both, because the gap between them can be large.

Can I use this as a certified valuation for a bank or court?

No. This is an indicative estimate — not a certified valuation, appraisal or fairness opinion, and not advice or an offer. For a defensible figure you need an accredited valuer and full diligence; speak to us and we'll point you the right way.
