Step 1 of 2
How the number gets made.
The same sector benchmarks and SDE adjustments a buy-side analyst would walk you through.
Industry benchmarks.
We start from the multiple range buyers actually pay in your sector — not a generic dollar-to-revenue rule.
SDE adjustments.
Owner discretionary earnings normalize what a buyer is really buying — add-backs for non-recurring, family payroll, and one-time costs.
Market-multiple range.
Recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner dependency, and asset base move the multiple inside the sector range.
From owners who ran it first.
The estimate came back within a hundred grand of where two brokers later landed. That was the first time I knew the number was real.
I just wanted to know if it was worth talking to anyone yet. The valuation walked me through what would move the multiple — that was more useful than the number.
Two months later we had a funded buyer through Dealport. I started with the valuation expecting nothing — and the same team carried it through.
Plain answers, no jargon.
How accurate is this estimate?+
Within the sector range buyers in the lower middle market actually pay — typically ±15% of where a real LOI lands once a buyer has done diligence. It's a starting point, not an appraisal. The number gets sharper when we talk through your specific add-backs and any concentration risk.
What's SDE and why does it matter?+
Seller's Discretionary Earnings — net income plus the owner's salary, benefits, non-recurring items, and other discretionary expenses the next buyer would not incur. It's the number most lower-middle-market buyers underwrite to, and it's what determines the multiple range we apply.
Will I get spam after I submit?+
No. We don't list your business, don't share your info with anyone, and the only follow-up is a single email from our team — only if you ask for one. You can ignore us indefinitely; the estimate is yours either way.
Do I have to use Dealport to sell?+
Not at all. Plenty of owners use the estimate as a sanity check before talking to a banker, a strategic acquirer, or a family member. If you do want to talk to a real buyer, that's a separate conversation — confidential, no retainer, no fees on close.
How do you actually pick the multiple?+
Sector base range × business-quality modifiers. Recurring contracts, customer concentration, owner dependency, growth trajectory, working capital, and asset base each move the multiple inside the sector band. We tell you which factors moved your number and which way.
A real conversation, when you're ready.
Confidential, no obligation, no fees. We'll walk you through today's market and what serious buyers are looking for — even if you're years away.
