This is what's left after expenses but before adding back your salary and perks. If unsure, use your taxable business income.

Owner add-backs

These get added back to show a buyer the business's true earning power. This is what raises your value. Leave blank if not applicable.

This is an automated estimate for educational purposes, not a formal appraisal or offer. Actual value depends on financial verification, growth trends, customer concentration, transferability, real estate, and market conditions. A Nid Group advisor can prepare a detailed valuation and Confidential Information Memorandum.

How it works

From curiosity to a credible number in three steps.

Most owners have no idea what their business is worth until they're ready to sell. Start earlier, plan smarter.

1

Enter your numbers

Share your revenue, profit, and owner add-backs. It takes about 90 seconds and everything stays confidential.

2

Get your range

We calculate your Seller's Discretionary Earnings and apply real industry multiples to produce an indicative value range.

3

Plan your exit

Talk with a licensed M&A advisor about how to increase your value and run a confidential sale when you're ready.

The methodology

The same math a buyer will run on you.

Small and lower-middle-market businesses are valued primarily on Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), the total financial benefit a single owner-operator takes from the business. We rebuild your SDE, then apply an industry-specific multiple to estimate enterprise value.

No em dashes, no guesswork. Just the framework brokers and buyers use every day.
