What is your business actually worth right now?
Answer the questions a buyer’s team would actually ask and we’ll send back a straight read on where your number would land in today’s market – and the one or two things quietly dragging it down. No cost, no obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one.
Your read is in the works.
Within two business days, our team will send you a realistic range for a business like yours – never a single number, because anyone promising one from a form is guessing – along with the two factors in your answers doing the most to set it.
If the honest answer is that now isn’t your moment, the email will say that too. We tell roughly half the owners we meet not to sell yet.
Want to talk it through once it arrives? Just reply – that’s reason enough.
This is an illustrative estimate, not a valuation. The range shown is generated from general market assumptions and the limited inputs you provided. It is for educational and illustrative purposes only. It is not a valuation, appraisal, fairness opinion, or offer, and it should not be relied upon for any transaction, financing, tax, or planning decision.
A meaningful estimate of what a business might sell for requires a detailed review of financial statements, quality of earnings, revenue concentration, and numerous company-specific and market factors – work that can only be done through direct engagement. Actual transaction values vary widely, and a real range is often established only through a competitive process. We make no representation or guarantee as to any value, outcome, or result.

A real read – not a generic number
Where you’d actually land
A grounded value range for a business like yours in today’s market – built on real transactions and current buyer behavior, not a calculator guess.
What’s holding it down
The one or two things a buyer’s team would flag first – customer concentration, owner dependence, revenue quality – and roughly what each is costing you.
What to fix before you sell
Most of these are fixable with time, not more profit. We’ll point at what’s worth addressing now so the number is higher when you’re ready.
What a read actually looks like
An illustrative example – an insurance agency, roughly $1–3M EBITDA, commercial-heavy and growing. Yours is built the same way, from your own answers.
Agencies with your profile – commercial-heavy, growing, and not dependent on you day to day – are trading at about 11–12x EBITDA right now. That’s anchored to what buyers actually paid over the last year, not a rule of thumb.
That spread is wide on purpose. Reply with your actual EBITDA and I’ll tighten it to a much narrower range in a sentence.
Your commercial-lines mix. The single biggest thing pulling you toward the top of that range – it widens the buyer pool and earns a premium personal-lines books don’t.
The business runs without you. Buyers pay for a business, not a job. Because yours holds together when you step away, every serious acquirer can bid – and that competition is what sets the price.
