If we quoted your business today, what would we pay?

You get two figures. What we would value it at today, and what it would be worth with the gaps closed. The difference between them is the part worth your time.

What you get, in plain terms.

No pitch, no gate, no call required. The number is the number.

01

What we would value it at today

A range in dollars, with the multiple we used. Priced against 2026 multiples for your sector and adjusted for the size of your earnings, because a $400K business and a $4M business do not trade at the same multiple.

02

Why it is that number and not a higher one

Six pillars, scored. This is the 6-Pillar Quality of Scale we run on every business we look at buying, so you are reading the same breakdown we would write about you.

03

What it would be worth fixed

Your two weakest pillars, what the business is worth once they are closed, and the dollar difference. For most owners that gap is larger than a year of profit.

The six things we price.

Every one of them moves the multiple, not just the earnings.

  • Earnings quality. Whether the profit is real, repeatable and provable.
  • Operations. Whether the business runs when you are not in it.
  • Marketing assets. Whether demand is owned or rented.
  • Technology readiness. Whether the systems survive a change of owner.
  • Customer diligence. Whether the revenue is concentrated or spread.
  • Regulatory risk. Whether anything transfers badly at closing.

Why it is that number

—/100

Your Quality of Scale score. This is what moved the multiple up or down from what your sector pays, and the six pillars below show where it came from.

Where the number comes from.

Six pillars. The weakest two are in orange, and they are the ones worth your time.

What the gaps are costing you.

Same business, same earnings, two pillars fixed.

What this is, and what it is not

This is an estimate from twelve answers. A real offer reads your P&L.

We built this from what you typed and from published 2026 multiples. Nobody has looked at your accounts, so treat the range as a starting point rather than a price.

If the gap between today and the ceiling is worth closing, that is worth a conversation, whether you ever sell to us or not.
