What's Your Business Really Worth?

See your current valuation and the exact premium you'd command after removing owner dependence.

How This Works

Buyers and investors value a business using a multiple of its EBITDA (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) — then discount that multiple based on how dependent the business is on the owner. This tool applies that same logic: it estimates your current valuation, what you'd be worth with the owner-dependence discount removed, and the dollar gap between the two. The multiples used are industry-typical ranges, not live market comps — treat this as a directional estimate, not a formal appraisal.

Your Highest-Leverage Moves

1

Remove Yourself From Sales

Every dollar of revenue that depends on you creates a dependence discount. Systematize and delegate sales to add 15–25% to your valuation immediately.

2

Document Decision-Making

If every operational decision waits on you, buyers see execution risk. Playbooks and clear ownership reduce this risk and increase valuation 10–20%.

3

Build a Leadership Team

Businesses with depth of leadership are worth more. A team that can operate without you commands a premium (20–35% valuation increase in some cases).
