How accurate is the valuation estimate?
It is indicative, not a formal valuation. It uses real UK sector EBITDA multiples and adjusts for growth, revenue quality, customer concentration and founder-dependency. It gives you a realistic range and shows where founder-dependency is discounting the number, so you know what to fix before a sale.
What data do I need to use the tool?
A rough annual profit figure (EBITDA), your sector, and five quick answers about how the business runs: growth, recurring revenue, customer concentration, and how much it depends on you.
Does founder-dependency really affect business value?
It is usually the single biggest discount a buyer or lender applies to an owner-led business. Owner-dependent SMEs trade at a 30 to 50 per cent discount to comparable businesses that run independently.
What is EBITDA and why does the tool use it?
EBITDA is your earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. It is the profit figure buyers and lenders use to value a business. The tool multiplies your EBITDA by a sector multiple to reach the base valuation.
