Thinking about what your company might be worth? Enter your adjusted EBITDA (or net profit), pick the closest sector, and add any surplus cash or debt to see an indicative value range. Multiples vary widely by sector and by the specifics of your business, so this gives a starting range, not a fixed number.
Profit after adding back owner's salary above a fair market rate, one-off costs, and non-trading items, so it reflects what a buyer would actually earn from the business.
Cash and other assets in the business beyond what's needed to run it day to day, added on top of the enterprise value.
Loans, overdrafts and other interest-bearing debt, deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at what a shareholder would actually receive.
Multiples are indicative only, based on general UK sector ranges. Your actual value depends on growth, customer concentration, recurring revenue, owner dependence and current market conditions. Not a formal or RICS valuation.
