How we valued your company — 5 ways

Revenue Multiple

Best when you have real revenue and can show growth momentum.

Not applicable

EBITDA Multiple

Trust this when EBITDA is positive and stable — the M&A standard.

Not applicable

Earnings (P/E)

Only meaningful when the company is profitable. Skips unprofitable startups.

Not applicable

Asset / Book Value

The conservative floor. Most relevant for asset-heavy or legacy businesses.

Not applicable

Discounted Cash Flow

Sensitive to the growth & discount assumptions. Sanity-check against the others.

Not applicable

Your headline value is a blend of the methods above, weighted by what matters most for a profitable enterprise. Leave a field blank and that method drops out — we only use the numbers you give us.
