What is on this site
One question, "business valuation calculator", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- How much is my business worth? A US answer, sourced: What US businesses actually sold for, from a survey of completed transactions, set against what listed companies trade at. Both figures, both dated.
- Business valuation methods: which one a US buyer uses: The income, market and asset approaches named by the SBA, what each is for, and why almost every private US sale is settled on a multiple of earnings.
- Adjusted EBITDA and SDE: which one your buyer will use: US deals under about $2M are quoted on SDE and larger ones on EBITDA. The difference, the add-backs buyers accept, and the ones they reject.

Bizworth Calculator is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the IBBA, M&A Source, NYU Stern or any adviser named here, and nothing on it is valuation, tax or investment advice. It produces an indication from published market multiples and your own inputs; it is not a valuation, and it applies no adjustment for sector, growth, margin, customer concentration or owner dependence, which is most of what a real valuation consists of. Multiples move: every figure carries the date and the survey or dataset it came from.
